Question

How many people prefer visiting ice cream parlors on weekends?

Answer 1

• The given bar graph shows the number of people and their preference for visiting ice cream parlors.
  
• Scale on the given bar graph:
  $\Rightarrow$1 division = 10 people
  
• Total divisions in the bar representing the number of people who prefer to visit ice cream parlors on weekends $=6\times 10$ people $=60$ people
  
• The bar representing the number of people who prefer to visit ice cream parlors on weekends ends halfway between 60 and 70.
  
• When a bar ends halfway between two grid lines, the value of the bar is halfway between the two numbers on the scale.
  
• So, the number between 60 and 70 is 65.
  
• Therefore, 65 people prefer visiting ice cream parlors on weekends.

Hence, option A is correct.
