Corrected Question
Roberto made a line plot to show the weights in pounds of the bags of granola in his store . He concluded that the total weight of the granola was
[tex]2\frac{1}{2}+ 2\frac{3}{4}+3=8\frac{1}{4}$ pounds[/tex].
What is one thing you could to to critique Roberto's reasoning?
(A)Use a ruler and measure the number line in the line plot
(B)Do online research about the weight of granola
(C)Perform Calculations on my own and compare them to Roberto's
(D)Relabel the line plot using different Numbers
Answer:
(C)Perform Calculations on my own and compare them to Roberto's
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached line plot
Total Weight of Granola in Roberto's store
[tex]=2X2\frac{1}{2}+ 1X2\frac{3}{4}+3X3\\=5+2\frac{3}{4}+9\\=16\frac{3}{4}$ pounds[/tex]
Therefore, to critique Roberto's reasoning, we perform calculations and compare them to Roberto's calculation.
The correct option is C.
He concluded that the total weight of the granola was 2 +2 +3 = 8 pounds but the calculation shows he made false answer.
The correct option is C.
A line plot will have an outlier. An outlier is a number that is much greater or much less than the other numbers in the data set. A line plot consists of a horizontal line which is the x-axis with equal intervals. The X's or dots represent the frequency.
From line plot,
Total Weight of Granola in Roberto's store
=2* 5/2+1*11/4+3*3
=5+11/4+9
=14+11/4
=67/4
Hence, the calculations and compare them to Roberto's calculation shows the critique condition of Robert answer.
