Step-by-Step Solution

Each picture stands for 10 packets, so pictures: 4 whole packets and one half packet.
Answer: C) 4 1/2

Key idea: Pictographs: pictures that count

A pictograph uses small pictures to represent counts. A key (or scale) tells you what one picture stands for — e.g. 1 ⚽ = 5 students. To find a category's count, multiply the number of pictures by the scale. A half-picture means half the scale (so 2½ ⚽ = 12.5, but in practice we round to a whole). Pictographs are friendly but imprecise — they're best for rough comparisons.
