Question

the woodshop teacher found 5 open jars of the same wood stain. the graph shows how much stain is left in each jar. if the woodshop teacher distributes all of the stain equally among the 5 jars, how much will be in each jar? amount of stain

Explanation:

Step1: Find the total amount of stain

From the line - plot:
There is \(1\) jar with \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup, \(3\) jars with \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup, and \(1\) jar with \(\frac{1}{2}\) cup.
The total amount of stain \(T\) is calculated as:

Step2: Divide the total amount by the number of jars

We have \(n = 5\) jars.
The amount in each jar \(A=\frac{T}{n}\), where \(T = 3\) cups and \(n=5\)

$$A=\frac{3}{5}\text{ cup}$$

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{5}\) cup
