Question

The number of apples sold by a shop is given in the table below:

$$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Day}& \text{No. of apples sold}\\ \text{Monday}& 60\\ \text{Tuesday}& 35\\ \text{Wednesday}& 50\\ \text{Thursday}& 55\end{array}$$

If the picture of an apple represents 10 apples, then draw a pictograph for the above data.

Answer 1

One apple in the pictograph represents 10 apples sold. So, we can represent the numbers of apples sold on Monday by $\frac{60}{10}=6$ apples.

The number of apples sold on Tuesday can be represented by $\frac{35}{10}=3.5,$ i.e., 3 and a half apples.

Similarly, number of apples sold on Wednesday and Thursday can be represented by 5, and 5 and a half apples respectively.

Hence, a pictograph showing above data is represented as:
