Question

The line plot shows the different length of nails in your toolbox

Answer 1

15 1/2 inches

Explanation:

We have 3 nails with a length of 1/2 in, 5 nails with a length of 1 in, and 6 nails with a length of 1 1/2 in. Therefore, their total length will be

`((1)/(2))\cdot3+5(1)+6(1+(1)/(2))`

which simplifies to

`(3)/(2)+5+6+(6)/(2)`
`(3)/(2)+11+3`

`14+(3)/(2)`
`=15(1)/(2)`

which is our answer!
