Question

The line plot shows how many gallons of paint a painter used in 10 jobs. How many total gallons of paint did the painter use on all the jobs that used less than 2 1/2 gallons of paint?

A: 5 1/4
B: 6 3/4
C: 8 3/4
D: 9 1/2

Answer 1

8 3/4

Explanation:

There are 5 jobs that required less than 2 1/2 gallons.

For the equation, you'll just be adding all these up

1 1/2 + 1 1/2 + 1 3/4 + 2 + 2

Which will give you 8 3/4
