Using Line Plots to Solve Multistep Problems

The video tutorial teaches how to solve multistep problems using line plots. It begins with an introduction to line plots and how to interpret data. The lesson then explains how to add fractions, using a practical example of building a barrier with objects measured in fractions of a foot. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the total length of objects and determine if they are sufficient for the task. Finally, it covers how to calculate the remaining length needed by converting whole numbers and mixed numbers to fractions.

What does each mark on a line plot represent?

• A group of data

• A single piece of data

• A summary of data

• A fraction of data

When adding fractions, what is a common mistake people make?

• Adding only the numerators

• Adding both the numerators and denominators

• Subtracting the numerators

• Ignoring the denominators

In the example of 3/4 + 2/4, what is the correct sum?

• 1/2

• 5/4

• 1 1/4

• 3/4

What is Jeremy trying to build with the objects he measured?

• A model

• A bridge

• A tower

• A barrier

How do line plots help in solving Jeremy's problem?

• By organizing lengths for easier addition

• By showing the total number of objects

• By displaying the height of objects

• By listing the objects in alphabetical order

What is the total length of objects Jeremy has gathered?

• 2 1/8 feet

• 2 feet

• 1 5/8 feet

• 1 foot

How much of the desk does Jeremy still need to cover?

• 1/8 foot

• 2/8 foot

• 3/8 foot

• 4/8 foot
