Question

The line plot shows measurement of a certain liquid in millliters in nine beakers if you combined the liquids and then put an equal amount of liquid in each beaker how much liquid would be in each beaker

Answer 1

B) 1/2 ml

Explanation:

The computation of the number of liquid in each breaker is shown below:

Here we start by including the amount that is mentioned in the plot line

We start by adding the amounts given by the line plot:

`(1)/(4)+(1)/(4) + (3)/(8) +(3)/(8) + (1)/(2) + (1)/(2) + (5)/(8) + (3)/(4) + (7)/(8)`

Now determined the common denominator

here the smallest thing is 2,4 and 8 and i.e. evenly divided by 8

Find a common denominator. The smallest thing that 2, 4 and 8 will all evenly divide into is 8:

`(2)/(8) + (2)/(8) + (3)/(8) + (3)/(8)+ (4)/(8) + (4)/(8) + (5)/(8) +(6)/(8) +(7)/(8)`

Now add the numerators

`(36)/(8)`

After this, divide it by 9

`(36)/((8)/(9))\\\\= (36)/(8) * (1)/(9) \\\\= (36)/(72) \\\\= (1)/(2)`
