Pets with more than 5 votes are cats (8), fish (6), and hamsters (9), since each of those numbers is greater than 5. Dogs (3), birds (2), and turtles (4) all have 5 or fewer votes, so they go in the smaller group.

Hamsters got 9 votes, which is more than any other pet on the chart. The pet with the highest number is the most popular.

Birds received only 2 votes, the lowest count of any pet. The smallest number on the chart shows the least popular choice.

Tally marks are short straight lines used to count items one at a time, with every fifth mark drawn diagonally across the first four. That is why a chart that records data this way is called a tally chart.

Cats got 8 votes and dogs got 3 votes, and 8 - 3 = 5. Subtraction tells us how many more one group has than another.

On a pictograph, each small drawing stands for a set number of items, like one apple meaning 2 students. The picture is the symbol that does the counting.

True. Hamsters had 9 votes, which is the largest number in the data, so they got the most votes.

False. On a bar graph, a taller bar means a larger number of items, not fewer. Bar height grows with the count.

True. Dogs got 3 votes and turtles got 4 votes, and 3 + 4 = 7, so together they total 7.

False. Fish got 6 votes and cats got 8 votes, so cats got more, not fish.
