Introduction:
Bar Graph
A bar graph is a graphical representation of information.
Bars are used in bar graphs. Bar graphs can be created using vertical bars, horizontal bars, or grouped bars.
Steps to Make a Bar Graph:
Step 1: Consider the title from the given data or tally chart.
Step 2: Choose a scale.
Step 3: Consider two axes, vertically and horizontally.
Step 4: Draw the bars according to the given data
Note:
A bar graph makes it easy to compare data.
Example of a Bar Graph:
Record the data in the form of a tally chart or information chart.
Choose a scale for each of the axis.
Now, draw a bar graph by using a scale and a data chart.
The horizontal axis shows the kinds of flowers; the vertical axis shows the number of flowers. Here, each grid line represents 2 units.

Example 1:
See the table of data and draw the bar graph.
The bar graph shows information about the number of pages read from a comic book by a group of friends.
![Number Of Pages Read](https://www.turito.com/learn-internal/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Number-of-Pages-Read.png)
Solution:
First, select the same title given to the table data.
The title of this bar graph is the ‘number of pages read.’
Next, we select a scale.
Each grid is equal to 5 units/5 pages.
We get the following bar graph.

Example 2:
Ashley had a fruit basket; he counted the fruits and made a tally chart. Draw the bar graph.
![Fruit Basket](https://www.turito.com/learn-internal/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Fruit-Basket-1.png)
Solution:
First, select the same title given to the table data.
The title of this bar graph is the ‘Fruit Basket.’
Next, we select a scale.
Each grid is equal to 2 units/2 fruits.
We get the following bar graph:
