Prepare a pictograph of students using one symbol to represent 100 students and answer the following question:
How many symbols represent the total number of students in the year 2002?
How many symbols represent the total number of students for the year 1998?

Answer 1

A pictograph is a way of representing the data using images.

1 symbol represents 100 students.

Now,

According to the given data, the total number of students in the year 2002 is 600. So for 600 students are represented by 6 symbols ($6\times 100=600$).

Similarly, in the year 1998, 5 and a half symbols represent the total number of students.
