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

`2(1)/(4)` inches.

Explanation:

Please find the attached file for the line plot.

We are asked to find the total length of 3/4 inch buttons, if Kara lines up all.

We can see from our given line plot that there are 3 buttons having 3/4 inch length.

To find the total length of 3/4 inch buttons, we will multiply 3 by length of one button that is 3/4 as shown below:

`\text{Total length of }(3)/(4)\text{ inch buttons}=3* (3)/(4)`

`\text{Total length of }(3)/(4)\text{ inch buttons}=(3* 3)/(4)`

`\text{Total length of }(3)/(4)\text{ inch buttons}=(9)/(4)`

Convert to mixed fraction:

`\text{Total length of }(3)/(4)\text{ inch buttons}=(4* 2+1)/(4)`

`\text{Total length of }(3)/(4)\text{ inch buttons}=2(1)/(4)`

Therefore, the total length will be
`2(1)/(4)` inches, if Kara lines up all the 3/4-inch buttons.
