How to solve Grade 5 data & graphs problems

Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

  1. Example 1

    Trail Mix Bags
    1X1 1/8XXX1 1/4XXX1 3/8XX1 1/2XX1 5/8XXXX1 3/4XXXX1 7/8XXXX2Weight (pounds)

    Each X is one bag of trail mix.

    How many bags of trail mix weigh more than 1 1/8 pounds?

    1. Greater amounts are to the right of 1 1/8 on the number line (do not count the X’s at 1 1/8 itself).
    2. X’s to the right: 1 1/4 → 3, 1 3/8 → 2, 1 1/2 → 2, 1 5/8 → 4, 1 3/4 → 4, 1 7/8 → 4.
    3. Add them: 3 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 19. So the answer is 19.

    Answer: 19

  2. Example 2

    Bead Bags
    01/41/2XXX3/4XXX1XX1 1/41 1/2XXX1 3/4XX2X2 1/4XX2 1/2Weight (pounds)

    Each X is one bag of beads.

    What is the difference in weight between the heaviest bag of beads and the lightest bag of beads?

    1. The greatest measurement is the X farthest right: 2 1/4. The least is the X farthest left: 1/2.
    2. Write both with the same denominator, 4: 2 1/4 = 9/4 and 1/2 = 2/4. Subtract: 9/4 − 2/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4.
    3. So the difference is 1 3/4 pounds.

    Answer: 1 3/4

    11
    baseball
    9
    swimming
    5
    tennis
    10

    Which has the fewest?

    1. Read the number for every bar: soccer 11, basketball 11, baseball 9, swimming 5, tennis 10.
    2. The smallest number is 5: it is less than 9, 10, 11.
    3. 5 belongs to swimming, so swimming has the fewest.

    Answer: swimming
