Question

Ms. Bravo measures the length of her third grade student's hands in inches. The lengths are shown on the line plot below. A)How many students are in Bravo' s class? How do you know? B) How many student's hands are longer than 4 2/4 inches? C) Darren says that more student's hands are 4 2/4 inches long than 4 and 5 1/4 inches combined. Is he right ? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

A. There are 23 students in Ms.Bravo's class

b. All you have to do is count the x's.

c. 4 2/4 = 5 students
    4 + 5 1/4 = 3 + 2 = 5 students

He is wrong because there are 5 students with hand lengths of 4 2/4 inches AND 4 and 5 1/4 inches.

Therefore, the amount is the SAME

Hope this helps :)
