Question

The line plot shows amount of miles students ran in a week. What is the difference in the lowest miles and the highest miles run in a week? A) 1 1/2 B) 1 1/4 C) 1 3/4 D) 3/4

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

There are 4 lines in between 2 consecutive integers, so each division is:

1/4 = 0.25

As we see from the graph, the highest miles is at the division before 2, which is 1.75

Also, the lowest miles is at 0.

Hence, difference in highest and lowest is 1.75 - 0 = 1.75

In fraction,
`1.75=1(3)/(4)`

correct answer C
