7.5 Information in bar graphs

Jabu wants even more information.
He says: “I know now that three quarters of the small fish she
wants to sell are Syubunkins. And I know the Syubunkins are
about one quarter of all the fish she wants to sell. I also want to
know how many of the Hunas and Hibunas are small.”

Jabu asked the seller for bar graphs. This is what she sent:

Read the graphs to answer the questions. Look carefully at the
number lines.

1. How many Hibunas are medium length fish?

2. How many Hunas are large fish?
3. Compare the number of Hibunas that are medium and large.

4. Compare the number of Syubunkins that are medium and
large.

5. Work out how many Hunas and Hibunas are small. Use the
information in all the previous bar graphs and pie charts.
