Question

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, but I would show how to solve a similar question.

Joy recorded the distances she walked each day for five days. How far did she walk in 5 days?

Solution:

We can see that Joy distance is recorded in the dot plot. From the dot plot, we can see that she walked 1/3 miles each day for three days, 1/2 miles for one day and 2/3 miles for one day. Therefore, to get the total distance walked, we just have to sum the individual distance that she walked each day. Hence the total distance is given as:

$Total \ distance=\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{3}+ \frac{1}{2}+ \frac{2}{3} =\frac{13}{6}=2\frac{1}{6}$
