Question

on the back!

1. a student has 3 stamps that are $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches long, 5 stamps that are $1\frac{2}{4}$ inches long, and 2 stamps that are $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches long. make a line plot for the data.

length (inches)

Explanation:

Step1: Organize data by length

List stamp lengths and counts:

• $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches: 3 stamps
• $1\frac{2}{4}$ inches: 5 stamps
• $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches: 2 stamps

Step2: Set up line plot axis

Label horizontal axis with values: $1\frac{1}{4}$, $1\frac{2}{4}$, $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches.

Step3: Plot data with X marks

For each length, draw Xs equal to count:

• Above $1\frac{1}{4}$: $\text{XXX}$
• Above $1\frac{2}{4}$: $\text{XXXXX}$
• Above $1\frac{3}{4}$: $\text{XX}$

Answer:

The line plot will have:

• Horizontal axis labeled with $1\frac{1}{4}$, $1\frac{2}{4}$, and $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches
• 3 X's above $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches
• 5 X's above $1\frac{2}{4}$ inches
• 2 X's above $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches

Visual representation:

Length (Inches) | X's
----------------|-----
$1\frac{1}{4}$  | XXX
$1\frac{2}{4}$  | XXXXX
$1\frac{3}{4}$  | XX
