Question

what is true about this line plot? (each x represents 1 snail)
number of inches snails crawled
the same number of snails crawled 7/12 inch and 5/12 inch.
there were 3 snails that crawled 1/4 of an inch.
the farthest a snail crawled was 1 inch.
the shortest distance a snail crawled is 1/12 inch.

Explanation:

Step1: Count 'X's for each value

For $\frac{7}{12}$ inch, there are 2 'X's. For $\frac{5}{12}$ inch, there are 3 'X's. So the first option is false.

Step2: Check number of snails at $\frac{1}{4}$ inch

At $\frac{1}{4}$ inch, there is 1 'X', so the second option is false.

Step3: Check the farthest - distance

The last 'X' is at $\frac{5}{6}$ inch, not 1 inch, so the third option is false.

Step4: Check the shortest - distance

The first 'X' is at $\frac{1}{6}$ inch, not $\frac{1}{12}$ inch, so the fourth option is false.

Answer:

None of the above options are true.
