Question 1

A pictograph shows each symbol equals 10 students. The row for Monday shows 3.5 symbols. How many students does Monday represent?

Accepted Answer

35 students

Answer

3.5 symbols × 10 students per symbol = 35 students.

Question 2

A stacked bar chart shows total books read per class. Class A's bar is divided into Fiction (60%) and Nonfiction (40%), and the total bar height is 50 books. How many nonfiction books did Class A read?

Accepted Answer

20 books

Answer

40% of 50 books = 0.40 × 50 = 20 nonfiction books.

Question 3

The mean of five numbers is 14. Four of the numbers are 10, 12, 16, and 18. What is the fifth number?

Accepted Answer

14

Answer

The total sum must be 14 × 5 = 70; the four known numbers sum to 56, so the fifth is 70 − 56 = 14.

Question 4

A line graph shows temperature readings at 6 a.m., 9 a.m., 12 p.m., 3 p.m., and 6 p.m. The line dips between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. What does this dip represent?

Accepted Answer

Temperature decreased between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Answer

A downward dip on a line graph shows the value decreased during that time interval.
