Answer 1

To create a bar graph from the voting data provided, follow the steps below:

### Data Table
Let's organize the data clearly:

| Item | Votes |
|-----------------|-------|
| Pizza | 12 |
| Chicken Patty | 4 |
| Hamburger | 8 |

### Steps to Create a Bar Graph

1. **Axis Setup**:
- The **x-axis** (horizontal) will represent the different food items: Pizza, Chicken Patty, and Hamburger.
- The **y-axis** (vertical) will represent the number of votes.

2. **Scale**:
- Since the maximum votes received by any item is 12, you can set the y-axis scale from 0 to 15, with increments of 1 or 2 to make it easy to read.

3. **Drawing Bars**:
- For **Pizza**, draw a bar that reaches up to 12 on the y-axis.
- For **Chicken Patty**, draw a bar that reaches up to 4 on the y-axis.
- For **Hamburger**, draw a bar that reaches up to 8 on the y-axis.

4. **Labeling**:
- Label each bar with the name of the item it represents.
- Optionally, you can also write the number of votes at the top of each bar.

### Example of How the Bar Graph Should Look:

```

This representation will give a clear visual comparison of the votes each school lunch item received.
