Question

the dot plot below represents how long it takes students in a 9th grade math class to get to school every morning. commute time (dot plot with minutes on the x - axis from 5 to 45, with dots above each minute mark as follows: 5 has several dots, 10 has a few, 15 has one, 20 has many, 25 has a few, 30 has one, 35 has a few, 40 has one, 45 has a couple) what was the longest commute time?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the dot plot

We look at the dot plot where the x - axis represents the commute time in minutes. The dots are placed above different minute values, and we need to find the largest minute value with dots.

Step2: Identify the maximum value

Looking at the x - axis labels: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45. The last dot is above 45 minutes, and we check the number of dots above each value. The value 45 has dots, and it is the largest value among all the labeled commute times on the x - axis.

Answer:

45 minutes
