Let's solve the pictograph problem step by step.

Understanding the Pictograph
The key tells us:
> 🎃 = 50 pumpkins
Each pumpkin symbol represents 50 pumpkins.
We will count the number of pumpkin symbols for each farmer and multiply by 50 to get the total number of pumpkins harvested.
---
Step 1: Count the Pumpkins for Each Farmer
####
Danny
- Number of pumpkins shown: 4 full pumpkins
- Total = 4 × 50 =
200 pumpkins
####
Jacob
- Number of pumpkins shown: 2 full + 1 half pumpkin
- Half pumpkin = ½ × 50 = 25
- Total = (2 × 50) + 25 = 100 + 25 =
125 pumpkins
####
Roy
- Number of pumpkins shown: 5 full pumpkins
- Total = 5 × 50 =
250 pumpkins
####
Edwin
- Number of pumpkins shown: 5 full + 1 half pumpkin
- Total = (5 × 50) + 25 = 250 + 25 =
275 pumpkins
####
Alex
- Number of pumpkins shown: 4 full pumpkins
- Total = 4 × 50 =
200 pumpkins

Now let’s answer the questions:
---
1) Who harvested the most?
- Danny: 200
- Jacob: 125
- Roy: 250
- Edwin: 275
- Alex: 200
✔ Edwin harvested the most (275 pumpkins).
---
2) How many pumpkins did Jacob harvest?
From above:
Jacob = 2 full + ½ = 100 + 25 =
125 pumpkins
✔ 125 pumpkins
---
3) Who harvested 250 pumpkins?
Looking at totals:
- Roy = 250 pumpkins
✔ Roy
---
4) Name the farmers who have harvested the same number of pumpkins?
- Danny: 200
- Alex: 200 → Same as Danny
✔ Danny and Alex
---
5) Danny harvested more pumpkins than Roy. Is that true?
- Danny: 200
- Roy: 250
200 < 250 → So Danny did
not harvest more than Roy.
✔ No, it is not true.
---
✔ Final Answers:
1)
Edwin
2)
125
3)
Roy
4)
Danny and Alex
5)
No, it is not true.
