Question

which length did the greatest number of leaves measure? leaf measurements length (inches) 4\frac{2}{4} 5 4\frac{3}{4} 4

Explanation:

Step1: Count 'x's for each length

Count the number of 'x's above each measurement on the number - line.
For 4 inches, there are 2 'x's.
For \(4\frac{2}{4}=4.5\) inches, there are 4 'x's.
For \(4\frac{3}{4} = 4.75\) inches, there are 5 'x's.
For 5 inches, there are 3 'x's.

Step2: Compare the counts

We compare the number of 'x's for each length: 2 (for 4 inches), 4 (for \(4\frac{2}{4}\) inches), 5 (for \(4\frac{3}{4}\) inches), 3 (for 5 inches).

Answer:

\(4\frac{3}{4}\)
