Exploring Fractions on Line Plots

The video tutorial explains how to use line plots to represent data with fractional amounts. It uses the example of a track team's running distances on a Monday, showing how each 'X' on the plot represents a team member's distance. The tutorial covers how to determine the number of team members, calculate the difference between the longest and shortest runs, and find the total distance run by the team.

What is the primary purpose of using line plots as discussed in the video?

• To compare different teams

• To plan future training sessions

• To record time durations

• To display data involving fractions

How many team members are represented on the line plot?

• 5 members

• 10 members

• The exact number is not specified

• 15 members

What was the longest distance run by any team member, according to the line plot?

• 4 miles

• 2 miles

• 3 miles

• 1 mile

What was the shortest distance run, as shown on the line plot?

• 2 miles

• 1.5 miles

• 1 mile

• 0.5 mile

What is the difference in miles between the longest and shortest runs?

• 4 miles

• 2.5 miles

• 3.5 miles

• 3 miles

How can the total distance run by the team be calculated from the line plot?

• By multiplying the longest distance by team members

• By finding the median distance

• By averaging the distances

• By counting the number of X's

What was the total distance run by the track team on Monday?

• It is calculated but not specified

• More than 20 miles

• Less than 10 miles

• Exactly 15 miles
