Question

Mrs. Barkley is making a snack mix out of different flavors of pretzels and chips. The weight of each snack package she used to make the mix is shown on the line plot below. What is the total weight, in ounces, of the snack mix?

Answer 1

20 ounces

Explanation:

The line plot is attached below.

From the line plot, we can see that there is a total of 7 snack mix. Two of the snack mix weigh 1 and half (1.5) ounces each, one snack measure 2 and three quarter (2.75) ounce, three snack mix measure three and half (3.5) ounce each and one snack measure 3 and three quarter (3.75) ounce. Therefore the total weight of the snack mix is:

Total weight = (2 * 1.5) + (1 * 2.75) + (3 * 3.5) + (1 * 3.75)

Total weight = 20 ounces
