Problem Analysis:
The task involves analyzing a picture graph that represents the number of pies sold at a pie shop each day of the week. Each pie icon in the graph represents
20 pies. We need to answer several questions based on this data and draw a bar graph.
---
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
1. How many pies were sold on Thursday?
- From the graph, we see that there are
4 pie icons for Thursday.
- Since each pie icon represents
20 pies, the total number of pies sold on Thursday is:
\[
4 \times 20 = 80
\]
-
Answer: 80 pies
####
2. Which day were the most pies sold? How many pies were sold on that day?
- Let's count the number of pie icons for each day:
-
Monday: 3 icons → \(3 \times 20 = 60\) pies
-
Tuesday: 4 icons → \(4 \times 20 = 80\) pies
-
Wednesday: 2 icons → \(2 \times 20 = 40\) pies
-
Thursday: 4 icons → \(4 \times 20 = 80\) pies
-
Friday: 5 icons → \(5 \times 20 = 100\) pies
-
Saturday: 6 icons → \(6 \times 20 = 120\) pies
- The day with the most pies sold is
Saturday, with
120 pies.
-
Answer: Saturday, 120 pies
####
3. How many more pies were sold on Tuesday than Wednesday?
- Pies sold on Tuesday: 80 pies
- Pies sold on Wednesday: 40 pies
- Difference:
\[
80 - 40 = 40
\]
-
Answer: 40 more pies
####
4. There were more pies sold on the last two days than the first four days. True or false?
-
Last two days (Friday and Saturday):
- Friday: 100 pies
- Saturday: 120 pies
- Total: \(100 + 120 = 220\) pies
-
First four days (Monday to Thursday):
- Monday: 60 pies
- Tuesday: 80 pies
- Wednesday: 40 pies
- Thursday: 80 pies
- Total: \(60 + 80 + 40 + 80 = 260\) pies
- Comparing the totals:
- Last two days: 220 pies
- First four days: 260 pies
- Since 220 < 260, the statement is
false.
-
Answer: False
####
5. How many pies were sold in total that week?
- Summing up the pies sold each day:
- Monday: 60 pies
- Tuesday: 80 pies
- Wednesday: 40 pies
- Thursday: 80 pies
- Friday: 100 pies
- Saturday: 120 pies
- Total:
\[
60 + 80 + 40 + 80 + 100 + 120 = 480
\]
-
Answer: 480 pies
####
6. Draw a bar graph for the number of pies sold that week.
- To draw the bar graph:
- Label the x-axis with the days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
- Label the y-axis with the number of pies sold, starting from 0 and increasing in increments of 20 (since each icon represents 20 pies).
- Draw bars corresponding to the number of pies sold each day:
- Monday: 60 pies
- Tuesday: 80 pies
- Wednesday: 40 pies
- Thursday: 80 pies
- Friday: 100 pies
- Saturday: 120 pies
