The line plot below shows the lengths of bolts Mr. Slivka found in his drawer.

He needs 16 bolts that are longer than 1 inch for a project he is working on.

Does he have enough bolts for his project?

A line plot named

A.

Yes. There are 16 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is just enough.

B.

Yes. There are 18 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is more than enough.

C.

No. There are only 3 bolts with lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough.

D.

No. There are only 12 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough.

Based on information provided by the dot plot above, we can deduce that the number of bta longer Than 1 inch are those with length ; 1 1/8, 1 3/8, 1 4/8

Counting the number of these bolts :

1 1/8 = 5 bolts

1 3/8 = 3 bolts

1 4/8 = 4 bolts

Hence, total number of bolts longer Than 1 inch :

(5 + 3 + 4). = 12 bolts

The number of bolts longer than 1 inch is 16. Therefore, he does not have enough bolt for the project.
