Use the pictograph below to answer the questions that follow.

1) How many oranges were sold during the third week?

2) During which week were the most oranges sold and how much?

3) What is the difference between the amount of oranges sold during week 2 and week 3?

4) What is the total amount of oranges sold over the 4 week period?

Solution:

1) Number of oranges sold in 3rd week = 5

= 5 (20)

= 100

100 oranges were sold during the third week.

3)

week 2 = 180 oranges

week 3 = 100 oranges

= 80 oranges

4) The total amount of oranges sold over the 4 week period is 420 oranges.

Problem 2 :

Salamander class went on a bug hunt looking for bugs in different habitats.

How many bugs were found there? _____

3) What was the least common place to find bugs? _____

How many bugs were found there?

4) How many more bugs were found in the long grass than the short grass?

5) Double the number of bugs were found in the pond than on leafy plants.

True or false? _____

6) How many bugs were found in total that day? _____

Solution:

1) 

2) Pond  the most common place to find bugs.

Long grass = 5 × 5 = 25 bugs

Short grass = 2 × 5 = 10 bugs

Under logs = 6 x 5 = 30 bugs

Pond = 8 × 5 = 40 bugs

On leafy plants = 4 × 5 = 20 bugs

40 bugs were found there.

3) Under logs the least common place to find bugs.

0 bugs were found there.

4) Number of bugs in long grass = 5(5) ==> 25

Number of bugs in short grass = 2(5)  ==>  10

So, 15 more bugs are there in long grass comparing the short grass.

15  bugs were found in the long grass than the short grass.

5)

Number of bugs in Pond = 40

On leafy plants = 20 bugs

So, it is true.

6) Total = 25 + 10 + 30 + 40 + 20

= 125 bugs

125 bugs were found in total that day.
