Question

the chart shows how many rhinos and zebras were seen on a safari holiday.

draw the symbols to complete the table.

safari holiday

animal | tally | pictogram
rhino | 13 (shown as two groups of 5 and three single tallies) | three circles with a cross inside and one quarter circle
zebra | 15 (shown as three groups of 5 tallies) | empty box

key:
circle with a cross inside = 4 animals

Explanation:

⚡ Using what you learned: Organizing Data in Tables

Step 1: Count the Zebra Tally

Count the total number of zebras from the tally marks:

• There are three groups of 5 tally marks.
• Total zebras:

$$ 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 $$

Step 2: Determine the Pictogram Symbols

Use the key where each full circle symbol represents 4 animals:

• Divide the total number of zebras by 4:

$$ \frac{15}{4} = 3 \text{ with a remainder of } 3 $$

• This means we need:
• 3 full circle symbols (representing \(3 \times 4 = 12\) animals)
• 1 three-quarter circle symbol (representing the remaining 3 animals)

Answer:

To complete the table for Zebra, you should draw:

• 3 full circles with a cross inside and 1 three-quarter circle (a circle missing its bottom-right quarter).
