amount of milk in cereal
line plot with \\(\frac{1}{2}\\), \\(\frac{5}{8}\\), \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) and xs

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each day's data

• Monday: $\frac{5}{8}$ cup, so we mark an 'X' above $\frac{5}{8}$.
• Tuesday: $\frac{5}{8}$ cup, mark another 'X' above $\frac{5}{8}$.
• Wednesday: $\frac{5}{8}$ cup, mark a third 'X' above $\frac{5}{8}$.
• Thursday: $\frac{3}{4}$ cup, mark an 'X' above $\frac{3}{4}$.
• Friday: $\frac{1}{2}$ cup, mark an 'X' above $\frac{1}{2}$.

Step2: Count the number of X's for each value

• For $\frac{1}{2}$: 1 X (from Friday)
• For $\frac{5}{8}$: 3 X's (from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday)
• For $\frac{3}{4}$: 1 X (from Thursday)

Answer:

• Above $\frac{1}{2}$: 1 X
• Above $\frac{5}{8}$: 3 X's
• Above $\frac{3}{4}$: 1 X

(To complete the line plot, place 1 'X' over $\frac{1}{2}$, 3 'X's over $\frac{5}{8}$, and 1 'X' over $\frac{3}{4}$ as per the counts from the table data.)
