Understanding fractions
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8); use operations on fractions to solve problems involving data in line plots (e.g. redistribute total equally)

Question 1 of 3
A scientist recorded the amount of water in six beakers. The line plot shows: - 3 beakers contain 1/4 cup each, - 2 beakers contain 3/8 cup each, - 1 beaker contains 1/2 cup. If the total water is poured back and divided equally among the six beakers, how much water will be in each beaker?
Question 2 of 3
A chef recorded the amount of milk in each of 7 containers on a line plot. The data are: 4 containers have 3/8 cup of milk each, 2 containers have 1/2 cup each, and 1 container has 1/8 cup. If the chef poured all the milk together and then divided it equally among the 7 containers, how many cups of milk would be in each container?
Question 3 of 3
A gardener recorded how much soil was in each of five pots. The line plot shows: 2 pots have 1/2 cup of soil each, 1 pot has 3/8 cup, and 2 pots have 1/4 cup each. If the total soil were redistributed equally among the five pots, how much soil would each pot contain?
