Question

The line plot below shows the weights of different cookie boxes in a shop. What is the total weight of the $\frac{1}{11}$ pound of cookie boxes in the shop?

• A. $\frac{8}{11}lb$
• B. $\frac{4}{11}lb$
• C. $\frac{1}{11}lb$
• D. $2\frac{4}{5}lb$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{8}{11}lb$

Here, $1$ cross (x) represents $2$ boxes of cookies.
There are $4$ crosses marked in the column for $\frac{1}{11}$.
So, there are 8 boxes of cookies that weigh $\frac{1}{11}lb$ in the shop.
Total weight of $\frac{1}{11}lb$ boxes of cookies in the shop $=\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}+\frac{1}{11}=\frac{8}{11}lb$
The total weight of the $\frac{1}{11}lb$ boxes of cookies in the shop is $\frac{8}{11}lb.$
