The tally chart shows a group of
students’ favorite superheroes. How many people prefer Wolverine or
Spider-Man?
We’re shown a tally chart. Children were asked to pick their
favorite superhero: Wolverine, Superman, Wonder Woman, or Spider-Man. How many children liked Wolverine
best? It’s five. When we’re counting tally marks,
this is how we show five. One, two, three, four, five. Four students liked Superman
best. Four students also picked Wonder
Woman. And three students chose
Spider-Man.
The question asks, how many people
prefer Wolverine or Spider-Man? We know that five students chose
Wolverine and three chose Spider-Man. If five students prefer Wolverine
and three students prefer Spider-Man, we know that eight students preferred
Wolverine or Spider-Man because five and three equals eight. We read the information in the
tally chart and used it to help us solve the problem.
