Question 2

Based on the pictograph of 'Modes of Travelling', answer the following questions:

Which mode of travel is used by the most number of students?
Which mode of travel is used by the least number of students?

Solution

We will count the number of students for each mode of travel.

Step 1 — Count students for each mode

Let us count the smiley faces for each mode. Each smiley face means 1 student.

For Private car: $4 \text{ smiley faces}$

$\boxed{4 \text{ students}}$

For Public bus: $5 \text{ smiley faces}$

$\boxed{5 \text{ students}}$

For School bus: $11 \text{ smiley faces}$

$\boxed{11 \text{ students}}$

For Cycle: $3 \text{ smiley faces}$

$\boxed{3 \text{ students}}$

For Walking: $7 \text{ smiley faces}$

$\boxed{7 \text{ students}}$

Step 2 — Find most and least used modes

We compare the number of students for each mode.

The numbers are: Private car (4), Public bus (5), School bus (11), Cycle (3), Walking (7).

The largest number is 11. This belongs to the School bus.

The smallest number is 3. This belongs to the Cycle.

Answer
