Question

Find the range of the given data set. 5/8, 3/4, 1 1/8, 1 1/4 A)5/8 B)3/4 C)1 1/8

Answer 1

A)5/8

Explanation:

• The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set.

Given data set:

• 5/8, 3/4, 1 1/8, 1 1/4

Rewriting the data set in the same denominator to compare:

• 5/8, 6/8, 9/8, 10/8

As we see the smallest value is 5/8 and the highest value is 10/8, so the difference:

• 10/8 - 5/8 = 5/8

So, the range of the given data set is 5/8

Correct choice is: A)5/8
