Answer key: Data Handling and Presentation

  1. (c) 8 – 5 + 3 = 8.
  2. (b) 35 – 30 + 5 = 35 apples.
  3. (c) 100 – 50 + 50 = 100 books.
  4. (a) The tallest bar – The tallest bar shows the most popular fruit.
  5. (c) 1 square = 20 – With 1 square = 20, 200 needs exactly 10 squares and the others are 6, 4 and 8.
  6. (a) 2 – 23 − 21 = 2 more like football.
