Question

record the length of each pencil on the line plot. click above the line plot to make dots for each measurement.

Explanation:

Step1: Measure Pencil A

The start of Pencil A is at 0 (implied, since it's aligned at the left) and end at 5 cm. So length is $5 - 0 = 5$ cm.

Step2: Measure Pencil B

Start at 0, end at 4 cm. Length is $4 - 0 = 4$ cm.

Step3: Measure Pencil C

Start at 0, end at 2 cm. Length is $2 - 0 = 2$ cm.

Step4: Measure Pencil D

Start at 0, end at 1 cm. Length is $1 - 0 = 1$ cm.

To record on line plot: For 1 cm (D), place a dot above 1; for 2 cm (C), dot above 2; for 4 cm (B), dot above 4; for 5 cm (A), dot above 5.

Answer:

• Pencil A: 5 cm (dot above 5)
• Pencil B: 4 cm (dot above 4)
• Pencil C: 2 cm (dot above 2)
• Pencil D: 1 cm (dot above 1)
