Question

This line plot shows the estimated amount of glue needed for summer projects at a camp. Eric chose to complete a project with the greatest estimated amount of glue needed. The actual amount of glue he used was

Answer 1

From the given line plot the amount with the greatest frequency is =

`2(1)/(4)\text{ fl oz}`

Given that Eric chose to complete the project using this amount and he used 3/4 of this amount, let's find the actual amount of glue he used.

To find the actual amount, we have:

`(3)/(4)*2(1)/(4)`

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)*(9)/(4) \\ \\ =(3*9)/(4*4) \\ \\ =(27)/(16) \\ \\ =1(11)/(16)\text{ fl oz} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the actual amount he used was:

`1(11)/(16)\text{ fl oz}`

ANSWER:

`1(11)/(16)\text{ fl oz}`
