Question 1 of 3
Eight students measured the length of their pencils. The measurements are: 2 1/4 in, 2 1/2 in, 2 1/4 in, 2 3/4 in, 2 1/2 in, 2 1/4 in, 2 1/2 in, and 2 3/4 in. If a line plot were made on a number line marked in quarters of an inch, how many X's would be placed at the point representing 2 1/2 inches?
Question 2 of 3
A class measured the length of their erasers. The measurements (in inches) are: 2 1/2, 2 3/4, 2 1/2, 2 5/8, 2 3/4, 2 1/2, 2 5/8, 2 3/4, 2 5/8, 2 1/2. They create a line plot with each measurement represented by an X above the appropriate value on a number line marked in eighth‑inch increments. How many X’s will appear directly above 2 5/8 on the line plot?
Question 3 of 3
A line plot shows how many cups of juice each student drank in a day, measured in quarters of a cup. The plot marks the following data points: 0.25 cup — 2 X 0.50 cup — 3 X 0.75 cup — 1 X 1.00 cup — 4 X How many total cups of juice were consumed by the students who each drank 0.50 cup?
