1
pound

B.
1
1/4
pounds

C.

D.

Answer 1

Answer is D because the next to the d column there is only one dot which represents the amount of times ordered.

Answer 2

D; 1 and 1/2 pounds

Explanation:

First, let's understand what the line plot is showing us. When looking, we see an amount of cheese, in pounds, with orange dots above it. Each one of these orange dots represents a person that ordered that amount of cheese. This means that 2 people ordered 1/4 pound of cheese, 4 people ordered 1/2 pound of cheese, and so on. What this means is that the amount of cheese with only one dot above it represents the amount of cheese that was ordered only once. Looking back at the line plot, the only cheese ordered once was an order for 1 and 1/2 pounds of cheese. So, our answer is D.
