The pictograph shows the number of pizzas delivered to the three residence halls on a college campus during the final exam week.
Correct Answer
Co-ed residence hall ordered 33 pizzas
Explanation
We will count the number of complete pizza symbols that appear in the bottom row of the graph, and we will estimate what fractional part of a pizza symbol also appears in that row. The key indicates that each complete pizza symbol represents one dozen (12 pizzas).
The bottom row contains 2 complete pizza symbols and what appears to be \( \frac34 \) of another. This means that the co-ed residence hall ordered 2 • 12, or 24 pizzas, plus approximately \( \frac34 \) of 12, or about 9 pizzas. This totals 33 pizzas.
