Teaching Transcript

🎙️

What is the total number of children surveyed about what pet they have?

For each pet, we can read the number of children who have that pet by finding the number that is the height of the bar.

So we have 2 children with dogs, 5 with cats, and 3 with fish.

Which means a total of 10 children were surveyed
