Question

Several students were asked how many blocks they walk from home to school each day. The results are shown in the line plot. How many students were asked the question? Use the line plot to solve this problem. SHOW WORK, NO GUESSiNG!

Answer 1

25 students.

Explanation:

A line plot is a simple graph that shows relationship among the values in a data using a number line.

From the line plot, each dot represents a student. While the number on the line shows the number of blocks walk each day by each student.

It can be deduced from the line plot that;

Only 1 student walks through 7 blocks, 2 walk through 5 blocks, 8 walk 4 blocks, 5 walk 3 blocks, 5 walk 2 blocks and 4 walk through 1 block to school each day.

So that;

1 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 4 = 25

Therefore, the number of students who took part in the survey is 25.
