Question

katy loves to paint and always runs out of purple paint first. she kept track of how much purple paint she used in each painting. use the line plot to answer the question below. amount of paint used line plot with xs on a number line labeled bottles from 2 to 3 3/8, with marks at 2, 2 1/8, 2 1/4, 2 3/8, 2 1/2, 2 5/8, 2 3/4, 2 7/8, 3, 3 1/8, 3 1/4, 3 3/8 if you combine all the paint from the paintings made with exactly 2 1/2 bottles of purple paint, how much purple paint will you have in all? write your answer as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number. blank bottles

Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of X's at \(2\frac{1}{2}\)

There are 4 X's at \(2\frac{1}{2}\) on the line - plot.

Step2: Calculate the total amount of paint

We need to find the sum of \(2\frac{1}{2}\) four - times. Using the formula \(a\times n\) (where \(a = 2\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2\times2 + 1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\) and \(n = 4\)).
