Question

Pictograph shows the number of motorbikes sold during the last six months:

i) In which month was the sale maximum?

ii) In which month was the sale minimum?

iii) Find the number of bikes sold in February.

iv) Was the number of motorbikes sold in March less than the number of motorbikes sold in June. If yes, then by how much?

v) Find the ratio of the number of motorbikes sold in April to the number of motorbikes sold in May.

Answer 1

i) As per pictograph information, the sale of the motorbike in January month$=7.5\times 100=750$

$\therefore 750$ motorbikes sold in January was the sale maximum.

ii) In April month was the sale of motorbikes $=3\times 100=300$

$\therefore 300$motorbike was sold in April which is a minimum.

iii) Number of bikes sold in February $=6.5\times 100$

$=650$

$\therefore$$650$ bikes sold in February.

iv) Number of bikes sold in June $=7\times 100$

$=700$

Number of bikes sold in March $=5\times 100$

$=500$

Bikes sold less in March than in June $=700-500$

$\therefore$Yes, $200$ bikes sold less in March than in June.

v) Ratio $=\frac{numberofmotorbikessoldinApril}{numberofmotorbikessoldinMay}$

$=\frac{300}{550}$

Divide by $50$

$=\frac{6}{11}$

Hence, the ratio of the number of motorbikes sold in April to the number of motorbikes sold in May$=6:11$
