Question

use your line plot to answer the question below.
amount of paint used
bottles
in how many paintings did angie use more than 2 2/8 bottles of purple paint?
paintings

Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of Xs above \(2\frac{2}{8}\)

We look at the line plot. The values above \(2\frac{2}{8}\) are \(2\frac{6}{8}\), \(2\frac{7}{8}\), and \(3\).

Step2: Sum the number of Xs for each value above \(2\frac{2}{8}\)

For \(2\frac{6}{8}\) there is \(1\) X, for \(2\frac{7}{8}\) there are \(2\) Xs, and for \(3\) there is \(1\) X. So \(1 + 2+1=4\)

Answer:

\(4\)
