Let's solve each question step by step using the
pictograph provided.
---
Understanding the Pictograph:
- Each food item (pizza slice, chicken nugget, hamburger, hot dog) represents
1 student.
- We count how many symbols are shown for each food to determine how many students like that food.
---
Step 1: Count the number of items for each food
| Food | Number of Symbols | Number of Students |
|---------------|-------------------|--------------------|
| Pizza | 5 slices | 5 |
| Chicken Nuggets | 6 nuggets | 6 |
| Hamburger | 2 burgers | 2 |
| Hot Dog | 3 hot dogs | 3 |

Now let's answer the questions:
---
1. What is the title of the graph?
Look at the top of the pictograph.
✔ Answer: *Favorite Food*

2. How many students like hot dog?
Count the hot dogs: There are
3 hot dog symbols.
✔ Answer: 3
---
3. How many students like pizza?
