Answer:

4 3/4 or 19/4

Explanation:

To answer this question, you must add the values of all of the x's on the line plot. There is 1 x on 1/4 and 2 x's on 3/8. So, add 1/4 + 3/8 + 3/8 to get 1. Next, there are 3 x's on 1/2. So, add 1 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 to get 2 1/2. Lastly, there's 1 x on 5/8, 1 x on 3/4, and 1 x on 7/8. So add 2 1/2 + 5/8 + 3/4 + 7/8 to get 4 3/4 of 19/4 as your final answer. I hope this helps!!!
