Question

Kara is sorting buttons by length for a craft project. The line plot shows the length of each button. If Kara lines up all the 3/4 inch buttons, what would be the total length?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total length would be  $2\frac{1}{4}\ inches.$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line plot figure is missing in the question, so below is the figure attached.

Now, to find the total length, if Kara lines up all the $\frac{3}{4}$ inch buttons.

So, from below figure we see that in the line plot $\frac{3}{4}$ inch buttons represents 3 buttons.

Length of buttons = $\frac{3}{4}$ inch.

Number of buttons = 3.

Now, to get the total length of $\frac{3}{4}$ inch buttons we multiply length of buttons by number of buttons:

$Total\ length=Length\ of\ buttons\ \times\ number\ of\ buttons$

                    $=\frac{3}{4} \times 3$

                    $=\frac{9}{4}$

                    $=2\frac{1}{4} \ inches.$

Therefore, the total length would be $2\frac{1}{4}\ inches.$
