Question

This line plot shows how many hours Ella practiced her flute this month. What is the difference, in hours, between the longest practice and the shortest practice?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Longest practice is 2 1/2 hours long

Shortest is 1 1/4 hours long

For difference, subtract 1 1/4 from 2 1/2

Convert mixed to improper fractions

(2*2+1)/2 - (1*4+1)/4

5/2 - 5/4

10/4 - 5/4 = 5/4

Change back to mixed fraction

1 1/4
