Count the :) in the oragne rows by twos. Then add 1 for the half symbol.
2,4,6,8
[tex]8+1=9[/tex]
So, 9 students chose an orange as their favorite fruit.
The half symbol represents one book because the whole symbol represents 2 books. Half of 2 is 1.
In september the students read 7 books. 2+2+2+1=7.
