Question

Marsha recorded the time it took seven children of different ages to run one lap around the track.

Using the line of best fit, which is closest to the length of time it should take Marsha's 6 year old niece to
run one lap?
A. 190
B. 200
C. 205
D. 210

Answer 1

Answer: C

Reasoning: There is a 40s difference between the age of 4 and 8 meaning 6 most likely would be in the center of that, which also means it’d be about half of 40. So with that we subtract 20 from 225 and thus giving us the closest length of time it should take Marsha’s 6 year old niece to run one lap, 205s.

Answer 2

The answer is C. 205.
