What is the height?

Thad and Ellie make bean bags for a tossing game.

Ellie makes a line plot to show the weight, in pounds, of the bean bags.

Thad says the 4 heaviest bean bags weigh a total of 5 1/8 pounds. Ellen says the 4 heaviest bags weigh a total of 5 3/4 pounds. What is the correct weight of the heaviest bags?

• 5 1/8

• 5 3/4

To find the total weight of the 4 heaviest bean bags you would use what expression?

• 1/2 + 5/8 + 3/4 + 7/8

• 1/2 + 5/8 + 1 1/2 + 1 1/2

• 1 1/2 + 1 1/2 + 1 3/8 + 1 3/8

• 1 3/8 + 1 3/8 + 3/4 + 7/8

What are the steps to create a line plot?

• Draw a line, put X's over the numbers exactly as they're given to you.

• Draw a line, decide on a scale and evenly space the numbers, put X's over the numbers they represent.

• Draw a line, put X's wherever you want.

• Draw a line, put all the X's over one number.
