Question

Kara is sorting buttons by lengths for a craft project.The line plot shows the length of each button.If Kara lines up all the 3/4-inche buttons,what would be the total length

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{4} inches.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

We see the plot line below, which shows that three crosses above $\frac{3}{4} - inch$ buttons, that means we have three such buttons available with us.

To find their total lengths, we have two methods:

• We can add the lengths of all buttons, that means add $\frac{3}{4}$ thrice

• Or simply multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ by three.

$\frac{3}{4} \times 3\\ = \frac{3 \times 3}{4}\\= \frac{9}{4}$

changing this improper fraction into a mixed fraction: $2\frac{1}{4} inches.$ will be the total length of three buttons lined up.
