Reading a Pictograph and Key

  • A pictograph shows data using pictures or symbols instead of numbers.
  • The key tells how many items one symbol stands for.
  • Always read the key first before counting any symbols.
Key (value of one symbol)
\[\text{one symbol} = k \text{ items}\]

Common mistake: Counting symbols and giving that as the answer, forgetting that each symbol may stand for many items.

Finding the Total Number

  • Count the symbols in the row, then multiply by the value of one symbol.
  • A half symbol stands for half the value of a full symbol.
Total items
\[\text{Total} = n \times k\]
Meaning of letters
\[n = \text{number of symbols},\; k = \text{items per symbol}\]

Common mistake: Adding the number of symbols and the key value instead of multiplying them.

Finding Symbols Needed

  • To show a given total, divide the total by the value of one symbol.
  • The answer tells how many symbols to draw in the pictograph.
Number of symbols
\[n = \text{Total} \div k\]

Common mistake: Multiplying the total by the key value when you should divide to find the number of symbols.

Finding Value of One Symbol

  • If you know the total and the number of symbols, you can find the key.
  • Divide the total by the number of symbols to get items per symbol.
Value of one symbol
\[k = \text{Total} \div n\]

Common mistake: Dividing the number of symbols by the total, which gives the wrong value of each symbol.

Sample questions

  1. In the pictograph, if one symbol represents 10 apples, how many symbols are needed to represent 30 apples?

    Show answer

    Answer: C. 3

    Since one symbol represents 10 apples, 30 apples would need 30/10 = 3 symbols.

  2. If a pictograph displays 15 symbols for oranges, and each symbol denotes 4 oranges, how many oranges are represented?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. 60

    15 symbols each denoting 4 oranges means the total is 15 * 4 = 60 oranges.

  3. A school conducts a survey where the results are shown in a pictograph of 8 symbols for the number of girls, with each symbol representing 6 girls. How many girls were surveyed?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. 48

    8 symbols representing 6 girls each results in 8 * 6 = 48 girls surveyed.

  4. If a manager collects data showing 6 symbols for watermelons and each symbolizes 10 watermelons, how many watermelons are there?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. 60

    Each symbol represents 10 watermelons, so 6 symbols total to 6 * 10 = 60 watermelons.

  5. In an election result pictograph, if there are 9 symbols for a candidate, where each symbol stands for 8 votes, how many votes did the candidate receive?

    Show answer

    Answer: C. 72
