The answer would be 80 because you are multiplying each number by 2. You multiply 5 x 2 = 10, 10 x 2 = 20, 20 x 2 = 40, and then 40 x 2 = 80. That is how I got the answer 80!!
I found the dot plots that accompanies this problem.
Based on the plots, the <span>statement that gives is a valid comparison of the number of candies in the bags of the two Brands is:
</span><span>B. The number of candies in the bags from Brand B is greater and less consistent than the number of candies in the bags from Brand A.
Dots in Brand B are scattered and whereas dots in Brand A are not and they are more concentrated between 52 to 55 range. </span>
There are 12 units in between. You have to remember the number line is in twos. So, when you count the units in between, you have to remember to count in twos. Another way to figure it out is you can count the number of lines above the numbers or plots and multiply times two to find how many units are in between. Again, multiplying it times two is necessary in this equation because it is in units of two.
So, there are 12 units in between.
I really hope this helps and I know how I worded it is kind of confusing, but hopefully you understand. If you have any question feel free to ask. Have an awesome day:)
28 because you must subract 22 from both sides
