Question

Look at the picture graphs. How many fewer students walk to school in Class A than in Class B?

A picture graph is titled "How Students in Class A Get to School." Each triangle equals two students. Each half-triangle equals one student. "Bus" has six whole triangles and one half-triangle. "Car" has one whole triangle and one half-triangle. "Walk" has three whole triangles and one half-triangle. A second picture graph is titled "How Students in Class B Get to School." Each triangle equals two students. Each half-triangle equals one student. "Bus" has four whole triangles. "Car" has two whole triangles and one half-triangle. "Walk" has five whole triangles.

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to find out how many students walk to school in each class and then calculate the difference.

Class A:

• "Walk" has three whole triangles and one half-triangle.
• Each triangle represents 2 students, and each half-triangle represents 1 student.
• So, for Class A:
  • Whole triangles: 3 triangles × 2 students/triangle = 6 students
  • Half-triangle: 1 student
  • Total students walking in Class A: 6 + 1 = 7 students

Class B:

• "Walk" has five whole triangles.
• So, for Class B:
  • Whole triangles: 5 triangles × 2 students/triangle = 10 students
  • There are no half-triangles for walking in Class B.
  • Total students walking in Class B: 10 students

Now we find out how many fewer students walk to school in Class A than in Class B:

• Students walking in Class A: 7
• Students walking in Class B: 10

Calculation: 10 (Class B) - 7 (Class A) = 3

So, there are 3 fewer students walking to school in Class A than in Class B.

The answer is 3 fewer students.
