Question

use the corrected line plot to answer the question below. age difference line plot: number line with marks at 1, $1\frac{1}{8}$, $1\frac{1}{4}$, $1\frac{3}{8}$, $1\frac{1}{2}$, $1\frac{5}{8}$, $1\frac{3}{4}$, $1\frac{7}{8}$, and xs at 1, $1\frac{1}{8}$, $1\frac{1}{4}$ (two xs), $1\frac{3}{4}$, $1\frac{7}{8}$ what was the smallest age difference? write your answer as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number. \boxed{} years

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the smallest value on the line plot

The line plot has marks (x's) at different values: 1, \(1\frac{1}{8}\), \(1\frac{1}{4}\), \(1\frac{3}{4}\), \(1\frac{7}{8}\). The leftmost mark (smallest value) is at 1.
