Question

The number of fish sold at a fish market during a certain week is shown in the pictograph below. What is the total number of fish sold on Tuesday and Wednesday?

Answer 1

Answer: We have to find the total fish sold or fish sold on Tuesday and Wednesday combined, the total fish is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{ Tuesday }\Rightarrow5+5+\frac{5}{2}=10+2\frac{1}{2}=12\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \\ \\ \text{ Wednesday }\Rightarrow5+5+5+5+5+5+5+2\frac{1}{2}=35+2\frac{1}{2}=37\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \\ \\ T=F_T+F_W=12\frac{1}{2}+37\frac{1}{2}=50 \\ \\ \\ \\ T=50\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ Total fish} \end{gathered}$

The answer is Option (D).
