Make a Line Plot

Use the measurements to create a line plot, then answer the questions.

  1. 1.
    Maria sorted the classroom pencils and measured all 12 to the nearest inch. Lengths (inches):
    8, 6, 7, 5, 4, 7, 7, 8, 5, 8, 6, 7
    a) Use the pencils measurements to create a line plot:
    Length of pencils3456789inches
    b) What is the most common pencils length? 
    c) What is the longest pencils length? 
    d) How many pencils are longer than 7 inches? 
    e) What is the difference between the longest and shortest pencils? Write an equation to represent the difference. 
  2. 2.
    Sofia cut 10 ribbons for an art project and measured each to the nearest centimeter. Lengths (centimeters):
    9, 9, 13, 13, 9, 11, 9, 13, 12, 11
