Exploring Line Plots with Fractions

This video tutorial explains how to create and interpret line plots involving fractional data. It begins with organizing survey data on shoe sizes, setting up a number line, and plotting the data accurately. The tutorial also covers interpreting the line plot by answering questions about the data, such as identifying the most common shoe size and the number of adults surveyed. The video aims to help viewers understand the process of creating and analyzing line plots with fractional data.

What is the first step in organizing data for a line plot?
