Question

Wai recorded the length of each string needed for a knitting project. What is the total length of the string needed?

Answer 1

Based on the dot plot, the total length of string needed is equal to 16 1/8 feet.

In Mathematics and Statistics, a dot plot is a type of line plot that is typically used for the graphical representation of a data set above a number line, especially through the use of crosses or dots.

Note: Each interval on the axes represent 1/8 feet.

Based on the information provided about the length of each string, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the correct values from the dot plot can be computed by counting the number of dots that corresponds to each length as follows;

Total length of string = 2(1/8) + 3/8 + 2(1/2) + 6(7/8) + 4(1) + 3(5/4) + 3/2

Total length of string = 1/4 + 3/8 + 1 + 42/8 + 4 + 15/4 + 3/2

Total length of string = 1/4 + 45/8 + 5 + 15/4 + 3/2

Total length of string = 129/8

Total length of string = 16 1/8 feet.

Answer 2

The answer is "14.625 ft"

Explanation:

In the given question some information is missing that is attachment of file which can be described as follows:

Add products:

`\rightarrow \ ((1)/(8))* 1+((1)/(4))* 1+((1)/(2))* 3+((3)/(4))*8+(1)*4+1 (3)/(8)* (2)1 (3)/(8) \\\\ \rightarrow 11/8\\\\`

`\rightarrow (1)/(8)* 1+((1)/(4))*1+((1)/(2))*3+((3)/(4))*8+(1)*4+(11)/(8)*(2)\\\\`

`\rightarrow ((1)/(8))+((1)/(4))+((3)/(2))+(6)+(4)+(11)/(4)\\\\\rightarrow ((1+2+12+48+32+22)/(8)) \\\\\rightarrow (117)/(8) \\\\ \rightarrow 14.625 \ ft \\`
