use your line plot to answer the question below. amount of glitter used what was the total amount of glitter…

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the amounts and counts

We have: 2 x 1, 2 x $1\frac{1}{4}$, 2 x $1\frac{3}{8}$, 1 x $1\frac{5}{8}$, 1 x $1\frac{7}{8}$, 2 x 2.

Step2: Convert mixed - numbers to improper fractions

$1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$, $1\frac{3}{8}=\frac{11}{8}$, $1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{13}{8}$, $1\frac{7}{8}=\frac{15}{8}$, 1 = $\frac{8}{8}$, 2=$\frac{16}{8}$.

Step3: Calculate the total for each amount

For 2 x 1: 2 x $\frac{8}{8}=\frac{16}{8}$; for 2 x $\frac{5}{4}=\frac{10}{4}=\frac{20}{8}$; for 2 x $\frac{11}{8}=\frac{22}{8}$; for 1 x $\frac{13}{8}=\frac{13}{8}$; for 1 x $\frac{15}{8}=\frac{15}{8}$; for 2 x 2 = 2 x $\frac{16}{8}=\frac{32}{8}$.

Step4: Add all the fractions

$\frac{16 + 20+22 + 13+15+32}{8}=\frac{118}{8}=\frac{59}{4}=14\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

$14\frac{3}{4}$
