Let's solve the pictograph problem step by step.

Understanding the Pictograph
The key tells us:
-
One pumpkin icon = 50 pumpkins
We'll count the number of pumpkin icons for each farmer and multiply by 50 to find the actual number of pumpkins harvested.
---
Step 1: Count pumpkins for each farmer
####
Danny
- Pumpkins shown: 4 full pumpkins
- Total = 4 × 50 =
200 pumpkins
####
Jacob
- Pumpkins shown: 2 full + 1 half pumpkin
- Half pumpkin = ½ × 50 = 25
- Total = (2 × 50) + 25 = 100 + 25 =
125 pumpkins
####
Roy
- Pumpkins shown: 5 full pumpkins
- Total = 5 × 50 =
250 pumpkins
####
Edwin
- Pumpkins shown: 5 full + 1 half pumpkin
- Total = (5 × 50) + 25 = 250 + 25 =
275 pumpkins
####
Alex
- Pumpkins shown: 3 full pumpkins
- Total = 3 × 50 =
150 pumpkins

Now let’s answer the questions:
---
1) Who harvested the most?
From the totals:
- Danny: 200
- Jacob: 125
- Roy: 250
- Edwin: 275
✔
- Alex: 150
✔ Edwin harvested the most.
>
Answer: Edwin
---
2) How many pumpkins did Jacob harvest?
We already calculated:
Jacob has 2 full + 1 half = 125 pumpkins.
>
Answer: 125 pumpkins
---
3) Who harvested 250 pumpkins?
From our calculations:
- Roy = 250 pumpkins
>
Answer: Roy
---
4) Name the farmers who have harvested the same number of pumpkins?
Check all totals:
- Danny: 200
- Jacob: 125
- Roy: 250
- Edwin: 275
- Alex: 150
No two farmers have the same number. All are different.
>
Answer: None (or "No farmers")
But let’s double-check:
Is there any match?
- 200, 125, 250, 275, 150 → All unique.
✔ So, no farmers harvested the same number.
>
Answer: None
---
5) Danny harvested more pumpkins than Roy. Is that true?
- Danny: 200
- Roy: 250
200 < 250 → So Danny did
not harvest more than Roy.
>
Answer: No, it is not true.
---
✔ Final Answers:
1)
Edwin
2)
125 pumpkins
3)
Roy
4)
None
5)
No
