Gina measured the amount of water her friends drink each day in gallons. The line plot shows the measurements.

Which is the difference between the greatest amount of water and the least amount of water shown on the line plot?


Sagot :

Line plots are used to represent data using lines and dots

The difference between the greatest amount of water and the least is 1/2

From the line plot (see attachment), we have the following parameters:

[tex]Least = 8\frac 28[/tex]

[tex]Greatest = 8\frac 68[/tex]

Calculating the difference

The difference (d) is then calculated as:

[tex]d =Greatest -Least[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]d =8\frac 68 -8\frac 28[/tex]

Subtract the common terms (8)

[tex]d =\frac 68 -\frac 28[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]d =\frac {6-2}8[/tex]

[tex]d =\frac {4}8[/tex]

Reduce the fraction

[tex]d =\frac {1}2[/tex]

Hence, the difference between the greatest amount of water and the least is 1/2
