Reading bar charts with big numbers worksheet: Answers and working

1. 700
The gap between neighbouring lines up the side is what one square stands for. Then look at the top of the 🍓 bar.
Each square stands for 100; the 🍓 bar's top lines up with 700.
2. 80
The gap between neighbouring lines up the side is what one square stands for. Then look at the top of the 🍎 bar.
Each square stands for 10; the 🍎 bar's top lines up with 80.
3. 1000
The gap between neighbouring lines up the side is what one square stands for. Then look at the top of the 🍌 bar.
Each square stands for 100; the 🍌 bar's top lines up with 1000.
4. 350
Find what a square stands for, read the 🍎 and 🍌 values, then subtract them.
🍎: 450; 🍌: 100. 450 − 100 = 350.
5. 2100
Find what a square stands for, then read off the value of each of the four bars.
Read each bar and add: 700 + 900 + 200 + 300 = 2100.
6. 100
Find what a square stands for, read the 🍎 and 🍪 values, then subtract them.
🍎: 600; 🍪: 500. 600 − 500 = 100.
7. 100
Find what a square stands for, read the 🍎 and 🍓 values, then subtract them.
🍎: 500; 🍓: 400. 500 − 400 = 100.
8. 55
The 🍌 bar stops between two lines: read the line below it, then add half a square.
The 🍌 bar stops half-way between two lines, so add half a square (5): 55.
9. 175
The 🍓 bar stops between two lines: read the line below it, then add half a square.
The 🍓 bar stops half-way between two lines, so add half a square (25): 175.

10. C. 50
Read the numbers up the side: how far apart are two neighbouring lines?
Neighbouring lines up the side are 50 apart, so each square stands for 50.
11. B. 🍌
The more there are, the taller the bar. Compare the tops of the four bars.
The tallest bar is the most: 1000.
12. True
Read the 🍎 and 🍓 values, then double the 🍓 value.
🍎: 40; 🍓: 20. Check whether 20 × 2 is 40.

Marking: 2 for the working, 1 for the answer, 1 for the sentence.

13. 1200 items
Find what a square stands for, then read the 🍌 and 🍪 bars one at a time.
The bars show 300 🍌 and 900 🍪 sold: 300 + 900 = 1200 altogether.
14. 80 dollars
Read how many 🍪 were sold first, then think about 8 dollars for each.
10 🍪 were sold: 10 × 8 = 80.
15. 70 items
Find the tallest and shortest bars and subtract their values, not just their squares.
The tallest bar's value less the shortest's: 70.
16. 700 items
Find what a square stands for, then read the 🍓 and 🍪 bars one at a time.
The bars show 100 🍓 and 600 🍪 sold: 100 + 600 = 700 altogether.
17. 1350 dollars
Read how many 🍓 were sold first, then think about 9 dollars for each.
150 🍓 were sold: 150 × 9 = 1350.
18. 1800 items
Find what a square stands for, then read the 🍓 and 🍌 bars one at a time.
The bars show 800 🍓 and 1000 🍌 sold: 800 + 1000 = 1800 altogether.
