Problem
The apple bar rises to 3 and the banana bar rises to 8, so the table values are apples 3 and bananas 8.
A bar's height tells you the count it stands for.

The bar's height already equals that fruit's number of classmates, and the table entry is meant to record that same number, so the entry must equal the height.
The bar rises by one unit of height for every classmate who chose that fruit, so its height and the count of those classmates are the same size.
The table number and the bar height each equal that fruit's classmate count, and two numbers equal to the same count are equal to each other.
The table lists apples 3 and bananas 8, so the apple bar is drawn to 3 and the banana bar to 8.
To draw a bar, raise it to the number the table gives.

Two correct pictures of the same survey must show the same numbers.
