Question

Select the option that shows the correct line plot for the given information on six coffee packets.

Cofee packets	Weight (lb)
Packet 1	$\frac{1}{15}$
Packet 2	$\frac{2}{30}$
Packet 3	$\frac{3}{45}$
Packet 4	$\frac{5}{75}$
Packet 5	$\frac{3}{30}$
Packet 6	$\frac{2}{10}$

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Coffee packets	Weight (lb)		Equivalent fraction
Packet 1	$\frac{1}{15}$	$\frac{1}{15}$	$\frac{1}{15}$
Packet 2	$\frac{2}{30}$	$\frac{2}{30}=\frac{2÷2}{30÷2}=\frac{1}{15}$	$\frac{1}{15}$
Packet 3	$\frac{3}{45}$	$\frac{3}{45}=\frac{3÷3}{45÷3}=\frac{1}{15}$	$\frac{1}{15}$
Packet 4	$\frac{5}{75}$	$\frac{5}{75}=\frac{5÷5}{75÷3}=\frac{1}{15}$	$\frac{1}{15}$
Packet 5	$\frac{3}{30}$	$\frac{3}{30}=\frac{3÷3}{30÷3}=\frac{1}{10}$	$\frac{1}{10}$
Packet 6	$\frac{2}{10}$	$\frac{2}{10}=\frac{2÷2}{10÷2}=\frac{1}{5}$	$\frac{1}{5}$

Number of coffee packets weighing $\frac{1}{15}\text{lb}=4$ (Packet 1, Packet 2, Packet 3, Packet 4)

Number of coffee packets weighing $\frac{1}{10}\text{lb}=1$ (Packet 5)

Number of coffee packets weighing $\frac{1}{5}\text{lb}=1$ (Packet 6)

Hence, the option showing this line plot is correct.
