Question

what was the longest measurement? length of insects (in inches) a line plot with xs representing insect lengths, labeled from 0 to 4 on the number line

Explanation:

Step1: Identify axis scale

The number line has 0,1,2,3,4, with 4 equal spaces between each integer. So each space = $\frac{1}{4}$ inches.

Step2: Locate rightmost data point

The rightmost X is at the 3rd mark after 3.

Step3: Calculate the value

$3 + 3\times\frac{1}{4} = 3 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{4}$

Answer:

$\frac{15}{4}$ inches (or $3\frac{3}{4}$ inches)
