Question

This line plot shows the estimated amount of glue needed for summer projects at a camp. Eric chose to complete a project with the greatest estimated amount of glue needed. The actual amount of glue he used was

Answer 1

From the given line plot the amount with the greatest frequency is =

$2\frac{1}{4}\text{ fl oz}$

Given that Eric chose to complete the project using this amount and he used 3/4 of this amount, let's find the actual amount of glue he used.

To find the actual amount, we have:

$\frac{3}{4}*2\frac{1}{4}$

Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}*\frac{9}{4} \\ \\ =\frac{3*9}{4*4} \\ \\ =\frac{27}{16} \\ \\ =1\frac{11}{16}\text{ fl oz} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the actual amount he used was:

$1\frac{11}{16}\text{ fl oz}$

ANSWER:

$1\frac{11}{16}\text{ fl oz}$
