Grade 6 Bar Graphs

Step-by-Step Learning

Learn about bar graphs through these example problems with detailed step-by-step solutions.

Example 1: Reading a Bar Graph

A bar graph shows the number of books read by four students: Anil (5 books), Bela (3 books), Chetan (7 books), and Deepa (4 books). How many books did Chetan read?

Step 1: Identify the bar representing Chetan on the bar graph.

Step 2: Read the height of Chetan's bar, which corresponds to the number of books read.

Step 3: According to the data, Chetan's bar shows 7 books.

Step 4: Therefore, Chetan read 7 books.

Example 2: Comparing Data in a Bar Graph

Using the same bar graph (Anil: 5 books, Bela: 3 books, Chetan: 7 books, Deepa: 4 books), who read the most books?

Step 1: Compare the heights of the bars for Anil (5), Bela (3), Chetan (7), and Deepa (4).

Step 2: Identify the tallest bar, which represents the highest number of books read.

Step 3: Chetan's bar (7 books) is the tallest.

Step 4: Therefore, Chetan read the most books.

Example 3: Calculating Total Data from a Bar Graph

Using the same bar graph, find the total number of books read by all four students.

Step 1: List the number of books read by each student: Anil (5), Bela (3), Chetan (7), Deepa (4).

Step 2: Add the values: \(5 + 3 + 7 + 4\).

Step 3: Calculate: \(5 + 3 = 8\), \(8 + 7 = 15\), \(15 + 4 = 19\).

Step 4: Therefore, the total number of books read is 19.

Enter your own problem related to bar graphs, and get a step-by-step solution.

Note: This basic solver can currently handle reading a specific value from a bar graph (e.g., How many books did Anil read if Anil: 5, Bela: 3, Chetan: 7, Deepa: 4?), comparing data (e.g., Who read the most books?), and calculating the total (e.g., What is the total number of books?). Provide data in the format: Anil: 5, Bela: 3, etc.
