Line Plots with Fractions

Front

What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line, where each data point is represented by an 'X' or a dot.

Front

How do you find the total length of items represented on a line plot?

Back

To find the total length, add the values of the data points represented on the line plot.

Front

What does it mean to represent data with fractions on a line plot?

Back

It means that the data points can be parts of a whole, such as 1/2, 3/4, etc., showing measurements that are not whole numbers.

Front

How do you determine the number of items that meet a certain criterion on a line plot?

Back

Count the number of data points that fall within the specified range or meet the given condition.

Front

What is the significance of the smallest data points in a line plot?

Back

The smallest data points can help identify the minimum value in a dataset and are important for understanding the overall range.

Front

How can you convert improper fractions to mixed numbers?

Back

Divide the numerator by the denominator. The quotient is the whole number, and the remainder is the new numerator over the original denominator.

Front

What is the purpose of using fractions in measurements?

Back

Fractions allow for more precise measurements and can represent values that are not whole numbers.

Front

How do you read a line plot?

Back

Look at the number line to see where the data points are marked and count the frequency of each value.

Front

What is the difference between a line plot and a bar graph?

Back

A line plot shows individual data points along a number line, while a bar graph displays data in rectangular bars representing frequency.

Front

How do you find the median of a set of data represented on a line plot?

Back

Arrange the data points in order and find the middle value. If there is an even number of data points, average the two middle values.
