Students measure objects in their desks and the data are shown in the line plot below. If the objects are to be connected end to
end,what would be the total length?
1 answer:
This question is incomplete because it lacks the diagram of the line plot. Find attached to the answer, the diagram of the scatter plot.
Answer:
35/8 inches or 4 3/8 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Reading the line plot, the number of objects is plotted vertically while the length of the object is arranged horizontally on the line plot.
The total length is calculated as: summation of the (Number of objects × Length of the objects)
= [(1/8 ×0) + (1/4×0) + (3/8 × 2) + (1/2 ×3) + (5/8 × 1) + (3/4 × 2) +(7/8 × 0)] inches
=[ 0 + 0 + 3/4 + 3/2 + 5/8 + 3/2 + 0] inches
= 35/8 inches or 4 3/8 inches.
Therefore, the total length of the objects if they are connect end to end is 35/8 inches or 4 3/8 inches.
