In a pictogram, one icon stands for 10 students. How is 5 students shown?
AA half icon
BA full icon
CTwo icons
DA larger icon
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. A half icon
1. All icons must be of the same size.
2. A fraction of an icon shows a fraction of the amount.
3. 5 is half of 10, so a half icon is drawn.
A full or two icons would show 10 or 20, and a larger icon breaks the same-size rule.
