Practice · Complete a table from its graph and back · Sensim Math

Variant 1 easy

Mr. Park's class surveyed the students' favorite fruits and recorded the results in a table and a picture graph. Complete both the table and the graph.

Number of students by favorite fruit (table)

Fruit	Apple	Tangerine	Banana	Grape	Total
Number of students	$4$		$2$		$14$

Number of students by favorite fruit (graph)

The vertical axis shows the number of students from $1$ to $6$ , one student per cell, and the horizontal axis lists the fruits (apple, tangerine, banana, grape). Only the grape column has circles drawn, filling cells 1, 2, 3 from the bottom ( $3$ circles); the apple, tangerine, banana columns are empty.

(1) How many circles are in the grape column, and so how many students like grape?

(2) Find the number of students who like tangerine. $(=14-4-2-\square)$

(3) Complete both the table and the graph.

1 · Understandwhat's really being asked

A favorite-fruit survey is shown in both a table and a picture graph. The table gives apple = 4; banana = 2, total = 14, with grape and tangerine blank. The graph shows only grape drawn with 3 circles. I must complete both the table and the graph.

Givens

Table: apple = 4; banana = 2, total = 14; grape and tangerine blank.
Graph: grape column has 3 circles drawn (one circle = 1 student); the other columns empty.

Unknowns

Number who like grape (from the graph).
Number who like tangerine (the missing table value).
The completed table and graph.

Constraints

Each circle stands for 1 student.
The 4 fruit counts must add to the total of 14.

1Read grape from the graph

#15 Organize Information in More Ways 2.MD.D.10

The grape column has 3 circles, and one circle is one student, so 3 students like grape. Write 3 in the grape cell of the table.

Counting the drawn circles transfers the count into the table.

2Find tangerine using the total

#7 Identify Subproblems 2.OA.A.1

The 4 counts add to 14. Subtract the known ones: tangerine = 14 - 4 - 2 - 3 = 5 students.

14 - 4 - 2 - 3 = 5

Total minus the known fruits leaves the missing count.

3Complete table and graph

#15 Organize Information in More Ways 2.MD.D.10

Completed counts: apple 4, tangerine 5, banana 2, grape 3, total 14. For the graph draw that many circles bottom-up in each column.

4 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 14

Each table value becomes that many circles in its column, keeping the two views consistent.

Answer: Tangerine = 5 students (grape = 3); completed counts: apple 4, tangerine 5, banana 2, grape 3, total 14.

4 · Reviewdoes it hold up?

The completed counts sum to 4 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 14, matching the given total, so the table and graph agree.

Another way: Add the known counts first (9), then 14 - 9 = 5 for tangerine — same result.
