Line Plots

A line plot was created to represent the lengths of several worms. The lengths were measured in fractions of an inch (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). The length of four worms were 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, and 1/8 inch respectively. What is the total length of the worms?

A group of students were asked how many books they read last month. The responses were recorded in fractions: 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/2. The data was displayed in a line plot. How many books did the group read in total?

A line plot was used to display the time it took for several athletes to complete a sprint. The times were recorded in fractions of a second (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). If one athlete finished in 1/2 second, three athletes finished in 1/4 second, and two athletes finished in 1/8 second, what is the total time taken by all the athletes?

A teacher recorded the lengths of time (in fractions of an hour) it took students to complete a test. The times were 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, 1/8, and 1/4 hour. He plotted these on a line plot. What is the total time taken by all students to complete the test?

A group of kids recorded the heights of their plants (in fractions of a foot) on a line plot. The heights were 1/2, 1/2, 1/4, 1/4, and 1/8 foot. What is the combined height of all the plants?

On a line plot, the rainfall for five days was measured in inches as follows: 1/4, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1/8. What was the total rainfall for these five days?

A line plot was used to monitor the number of pizzas a group of friends ate in a week. The data was recorded in fractions: 1/2, 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/2 pizza. What was the total number of pizzas the friends ate in a week?

The line plot shows the amount of time various students spend on their homework each night in fractions of an hour: 1/2, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/2, and 1/4 hours. How much total time do the students spend on their homework?

A bakery measures the amount of flour they use each day in fractions of a bag. The amounts for one week were recorded as follows in a line plot: 1/2, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1/4, 1/4, and 1/4 bag of flour. How many bags of flour did the bakery use in total during that week?

A survey was conducted to find out the amount of water each student drinks daily. The data was recorded in fractions of a gallon on a line plot as follows: 1/2, 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4, and 1/2 gallon. What is the total amount of water consumed by the students daily?
