Total number of animals in five villages are as follows:

Villages	Number of animals
Village A	80
Village B	120
Village C	90
Village D	40
Village E	60
Prepare a pictograph of these animals using one symbol \[\otimes \] to represent 10 animals and answer the following questions:
(a) How many symbols represent animals of village E?
(b) Which village has the maximum number of animals?
(c) Which village has more animals: village A or village C?

Answer:

Given, 10 animals are represented by 1 symbol \[\otimes \].

\[\therefore \] 1 animal is represented by 1/10 symbol \[\otimes \]

For village A.

80 animals are represented by \[\frac{80\times 1}{10}\]

= 8 symbols \[\otimes \]

For village B.

120 animals are represented by \[\frac{120\times 1}{10}\]

= 12 symbols \[\otimes \]

For village C.

90 animals are represented by \[\frac{90\times 1}{10}\]

= 9 symbols \[\otimes \]

For village D.

animals are represented by \[\frac{40\times 1}{10}\]

= 4 symbols \[\otimes \]

For village E.

nimals are represented by\[\frac{60\times 1}{10}\]

= 6 symbols \[\otimes \]

Then, we have the following pictograph.

(a) It is clear from the pictograph, that 6 symbols represent animals of village E.

(b) It is clear from the pictograph, that village B has the maximum number of animals i.e. 120 animals.

(c) From the pictograph, number of animals in village A = 80

Number of animals in village C = 90

\[\because \]                   90 > 80

\[\because \] Village C has more animals.
