Question

Use the data on the dot plot to answer the question. A dot plot titled How Many Hours did you read last week going from 3 to 6. 3 has 4 dots, 4 has 6 dots, 5 has 3 dots, and 6 has 5 dots. How many people read for more than three hours last week?

Answer 1

14

You need to find all the people who read more than three hours. More than three hours would mean people who read more than 4, 5, or 6 hours. Since the number of people who read 4 hours is 6 dots and 5 hours are 3 dots, we add them together.

6+3

= 9

Since the number of people who read 6 hours is 5, we also add that.

9+5

= 14

Answer 2

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

More than 3 hours would be 4 hours and 5 hours and 6 hours.

So sum the number of dots above the numbers 4, 5 and 6:

6 + 3 + 5 = 14
