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: Analyze number of snails at 7/12 and 5/12

Count 'X's. At 7/12 there are 2 'X's, at 5/12 there are 0 'X's.

Step2: Analyze number of snails at 1/4

Count 'X's at 1/4. There is 1 'X'.

Step3: Analyze farthest distance

Check the right - most 'X'. The right - most 'X' is at 3/4, not 1.

Step4: Analyze shortest distance

Check the left - most non - zero 'X'. The left - most non - zero 'X' is at 1/6.

Answer:

None of the above options are true.
