Let’s solve this step by step.
First, look at the key:
1 pumpkin picture = 50 real pumpkins
Now let’s count how many pumpkin pictures each farmer has:
-
Danny: 4 full pumpkins → 4 × 50 =
200 pumpkins
-
Jacob: 2 full + 1 half → 2.5 × 50 =
125 pumpkins
-
Ray: 5 full pumpkins → 5 × 50 =
250 pumpkins
-
Edwin: 5 full + 1 half → 5.5 × 50 =
275 pumpkins
-
Alex: 4 full pumpkins → 4 × 50 =
200 pumpkins
Now answer each question:
---
1) Who harvested the most?
Look at the totals:
Danny: 200
Jacob: 125
Ray: 250
Edwin: 275 ← highest
Alex: 200
→
Edwin
---
2) How many pumpkins did Jacob harvest?
Jacob has 2.5 pumpkins in the graph → 2.5 × 50 =
125
---
3) Who harvested 250 pumpkins?
250 ÷ 50 = 5 pumpkins → Look for who has exactly 5 full pumpkins →
Ray
---
4) Name the farmers who have harvested the same number of pumpkins?
Danny and Alex both have 4 pumpkins → 4 × 50 = 200 each →
Danny and Alex
---
5) Danny harvested more pumpkins than Ray. Is that true?
Danny: 200
Ray: 250
200 is NOT more than 250 →
False
---
Final Answer:
1) Edwin
2) 125
3) Ray
4) Danny and Alex
5) False
