Magan Bhai sells kites at Jamnagar. Six shopkeepers from nearby villages come to purchase kites from him. The number of kites he sold to these six shopkeepers are given below. Prepare a pictograph using the symbol ♻ to represent 100 kites. Answer the following questions:
How many symbols represent the kites that Rani purchased?
3 symbols represent the kites that Rani purchased. Since Rani purchased 300 kites and each symbol represents 100 kites, 300 ÷ 100 = 3 symbols.
Who purchased the maximum number of kites?
Poonam Ben purchased the maximum number of kites with 700 kites.
Who purchased more kites, Jasmeet or Chaman?
Jasmeet purchased more kites than Chaman. Jasmeet purchased 450 kites while Chaman purchased 250 kites.
Rukhsana says Poonam Ben purchased more than double the number of kites that Rani purchased. Is she correct? Why?
Yes, Rukhsana is correct. Poonam Ben purchased 700 kites and Rani purchased 300 kites. Double of 300 is 600, and 700 is more than 600. Therefore, Poonam Ben purchased more than double the number of kites that Rani purchased.
Explanation
(a) To find the number of symbols, divide the number of kites by the scale: 300 ÷ 100 = 3 symbols. (b) Comparing all values: Chaman (250), Rani (300), Rukhsana (100), Jasmeet (450), Jetha Lal (250), Poonam Ben (700). The maximum is 700. (c) Comparing the values: Jasmeet (450 kites) > Chaman (250 kites). (d) To verify: Double of Rani's purchase = = 600 kites. Poonam Ben's purchase = 700 kites. Since 700 > 600, the statement is correct.
