Question

the dot plot below represents how long it takes students in a 6th grade math class to get to school every morning.
commute time
(there is a dot plot with a number line labeled minutes from 5 to 45, with dots above each number: 5 has 2 dots, 10 has 2 dots, 20 has 1 dot, 25 has 5 dots, 30 has 3 dots, 35 has 2 dots, 45 has 3 dots; 15 and 40 have no dots)
how many students take more than 25 minutes to get to school?
answer attempt 2 out of 2
students

Explanation:

Step1: Identify data points >25

Find commute times (minutes) greater than 25: 30, 35, 45.

Step2: Count dots for each

• 30 minutes: 3 dots
• 35 minutes: 2 dots
• 45 minutes: 3 dots

Step3: Sum the counts

Add the number of dots: \( 3 + 2 + 3 = 8 \).

Answer:

8
