Answer:
[tex]Each = \frac{15}{128}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for line plot
Required
Determine the total trash picked
The data on the line plot can be represented as:
[tex]Trash \to Schools[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{8} \to 6[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4} \to 8[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \to 2[/tex]
[tex]1 \to 0[/tex]
The total trash picked is:
[tex]Total = \frac{1}{8} * 6 + \frac{1}{4} * 8 + \frac{1}{2} * 2 + 1 * 0[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{8}{4} + 1+0[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]Total = \frac{3+8+4+0}{4}[/tex]
[tex]Total = \frac{15}{4}[/tex]
The total picked by each school is:
[tex]Each = \frac{Total}{32}[/tex]
[tex]Each = \frac{15/4}{32}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]Each = \frac{15}{4*32}[/tex]
[tex]Each = \frac{15}{128}[/tex]
