Question

The line plot below shows the amount of cereal shyanne ate in 5 days. What is the total number of cups of cereal that shyanne ate in the 5 days

Answer 1

Total number of cups of cereal Shyanne ate in 5 days:
`(9)/(4)` or
`2(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Line plot which shows the amount of cereal Shyanne ate in 5 days in attached below.

We can see that.

Out of 5 days:

2 days, she ate 1/4 cups of cereal

Which means a total of 1/4 + 1/4 cups of cereal

2 days, she ate 1/2 cups of cereal

Which means a total of 1/2 + 1/2 cups of cereal

1 day, she ate 3/4 cups of cereal

Adding the total number of cups to get the answer:

`(1)/(4)+(1)/(4)+(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)+(3)/(4)=(2)/(4)+(2)/(2)+(3)/(4)\\\\(2)/(4)+(2)/(2)+(3)/(4)=(2+4+3)/(4)\\\\(2+4+3)/(4)=(9)/(4)= 2(1)/(4)`

Answer 2

D. 2 1/4 total number of cups of cereals

Explanation:

The question lacks diagram. Find the diagram in the attachment.

The total number of cups of cereals that shyanne ate in the 5 days will be individual sum of the fractions of cereals ate during day 2, 3 and 4. X shows the number of times she ate cereal each day.

Day 0 = 0 (she doesn't eat cereal during this day)

Day 1 = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 cup of cereal (X appeared twice). She ate 1/4 cups of cereals twice this day.

Day 2 = 2/4 + 2/4 = 1 cup of cereal (X appeared twice). She ate 2/4 cups of cereals twice this day.

Day 3 = 3/4 cup of cereal (X appeared once). She ate 3/4 cup of cereals once this day.

Day 4 = no cup of cereal was eaten.

Total cups of cereal for the 5days= 0+1/2+1+3/4+0

= 3/2+3/4

= (6+3)/4

= 9/4

= 2 1/4

= 2 1/4 cups of cereal.
