Question

What is the total length of all meteors that are 1 6/8 inches?

A line plot with the title, length of meteors. The data is a measurement in inches. The line plot goes from two eighths to one and seven eighths, with fourteen tick marks in all. The first tick mark is two eighths and has one data point. The second tick mark is three eighths and has three data points. The third tick mark is four eighths and has two data points. The fourth tick mark is five eighths and has no data points. The fifth tick mark is six eighths and has two data points. The sixth tick mark is seven eighths and has no data points. The seventh tick mark is one and has no data points. The eighth tick mark is one and one eighth and has no data points. The ninth tick mark is one and two eighths and has one data point. The tenth tick mark is one and three-eighths and has two data points. The eleventh tick mark is one and four eighths and has no data points. The twelfth tick mark is one and five-eighths and has no data points. The thirteenth tick mark is one and six eighths and has two data points. The fourteenth tick mark is one and seven eighths and has one data point.

three and four-eighths inches
three and five-eighths inches
four and seven-eighths inches
three and seven-eighths inches

Answer 1

three and four-eights inches

Explanation:

Answer 2

three and four-eighths inches

Explanation:

Given :

Tick 1 = 2/8 (1 data point)

Tick 2 = 3/8 (3 data points)

Tick 3 = 4/8 (2 data points)

Tick 4 = 5/8 (no points)

Tick 5 = 6/8 (2 data points)

Tick 6 = 7/8 (no data points)

Tick 2 = 3/8 (3 data points)

....

Tick 13 = 1 6/8 (2 data points)

Hence, total length of all meteors that are 1 6/8 inches :

Length of meteor = 1 6/8

Number of meteors = 2

(2 * 1 6/8) = 2 * 14/8 = 28/8 = 3 4/8 = 3 1/2
