Question

Kara is sorting buttons by length for a craft project. The line plot shows the length of each button. If Kara lines up all the 3/4 inch buttons, what would be the total length?

Answer 1

The total length would be
`2(1)/(4)\ inches.`

Explanation:

The line plot figure is missing in the question, so below is the figure attached.

Now, to find the total length, if Kara lines up all the
`(3)/(4)` inch buttons.

So, from below figure we see that in the line plot
`(3)/(4)` inch buttons represents 3 buttons.

Length of buttons =
`(3)/(4)` inch.

Number of buttons = 3.

Now, to get the total length of
`(3)/(4)` inch buttons we multiply length of buttons by number of buttons:

`Total\ length=Length\ of\ buttons\ *\ number\ of\ buttons`

`=(3)/(4) * 3`

`=(9)/(4)`

`=2(1)/(4) \ inches.`

Therefore, the total length would be
`2(1)/(4)\ inches.`
