Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of crosses for each time - less than or equal to \(4\frac{1}{4}\)

We look at the line - plot.
For \(2\frac{3}{4}\) hours, there is \(1\) cross.
For \(3\frac{1}{4}\) hours, there is \(1\) cross.
For \(3\frac{1}{2}\) hours, there are \(3\) crosses.
For \(3\frac{3}{4}\) hours, there is \(1\) cross.
For \(4\frac{1}{4}\) hours, there is \(1\) cross.

Step2: Sum up the number of crosses

We use the addition formula \(1 + 1+3 + 1+1\).

$$1+1 + 3+1+1=(1 + 1)+3+(1 + 1)=2 + 3+2=7$$

Answer:

\(7\)
