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
