Let's solve each question step by step using the
picture graph provided in the "Weather Survey" worksheet.

Step 1: Count the number of days for each weather type
We count how many symbols are in each row:
-
Sunny: 8 suns →
8 days
-
Cloudy: 10 clouds →
10 days
-
Rainy: 6 raindrops →
6 days
-
Snowy: 4 snowflakes →
4 days
-
Stormy: 3 storm symbols →
3 days

Now, let’s answer each question:
---
1) Which weather was the most common?
→
Cloudy (10 days)
✔ Answer: Cloudy
---
2) Which weather was the least common?
→
Stormy (3 days)
✔ Answer: Stormy
---
3) How many days was it snowy?

4) How many days was it either rainy or stormy?
Rainy = 6

5) How many more days was it sunny than rainy?
Sunny = 8
Rainy = 6
Difference = 8 - 6 =
2
✔ Answer: 2
