Question

1) Diego measured the number of cups of water in 15 bottles of various sizes. He

made this line plot to show how many of each size he has. Diego then took all
the bottles of the most common size and poured the water into one container.
How much water is in the container?
Bottle Sizes in Cups

Answer 1

`8(3)/(4)` cups.

Explanation:

From the line plot made by Diego which represents bottle sizes in cups, we can see that the most common size is the bottle having 1¾ cups (there are 5 of this sizes).

If he poured all 5 of this bottle sizes in 1 container, he would have the following:

`1(3)/(4) * 5 = (7)/(4)*5 = (35)/(4)`

`= 8(3)/(4)` cups.
