Question

There are 80 roses in total. Observe the picture table to answer the following.
(i) How many flowers does each symbol represent?
(ii) How many tulips and lilies are there?

Answer 1

Say: We have to read the given picture table and identify the number of flowers each symbol represents. Also we have to find out the number of lilies and tulips.

Steps:
- In the given picture table, there are three different types of flowers - lilies, tulips, and roses.
- The number of each type of flower is represented with the help of a symbol.
- 5 symbols are used to represent lilies, 3 to represent tulips, and 8 to represent roses.
- It is given that there are 80 roses in total.
- So, we have to identify the number which when added 8 times, gives 80 as the total.
- 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 80
- Therefore, we can say that each symbol represents 10 flowers.
- So, number of lilies: 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 50
- Number of tulips: 10 + 10 + 10 = 30
- Hence, option B is the correct answer.


Probing Question:
Q. If there are 40 roses in total, can you tell me how many flowers each symbol would represent?
A: We have to identify the number, which when added 8 times gives 40 as the total. 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 40 So, we can say that each symbol will represent 5 flowers.
