Data on line plots Practice Questions (Grade 5)

Question 1easy

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at $\tfrac{1}{4}$ , 1 at $\tfrac{1}{2}$ , 1 at $\tfrac{3}{4}$ . What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total $= \tfrac{7}{4}$ .

Question 2easy

A line plot (in cups) shows 3 at $\tfrac{1}{2}$ , 1 at $\tfrac{1}{4}$ . What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total $= \tfrac{7}{4}$ .

Question 3easy

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at $\tfrac{3}{4}$ , 2 at $\tfrac{1}{4}$ . What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total $= \tfrac{2}{1}$ .

Question 4easy

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at $\tfrac{1}{8}$ , 2 at $\tfrac{3}{8}$ , 1 at $\tfrac{1}{2}$ . What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total $= \tfrac{3}{2}$ .

Question 5easy

A line plot (in cups) shows 2 at $\tfrac{2}{3}$ , 2 at $\tfrac{1}{3}$ . What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total $= \tfrac{2}{1}$ .

Question 6easy

A line plot (in cups) shows 4 at $\tfrac{1}{4}$ , 2 at $\tfrac{1}{2}$ . What is the total amount of liquid?

Multiply each value by its count, then add: total $= \tfrac{2}{1}$ .

Question 7easy

Four beakers hold $\tfrac{1}{2}$ , $\tfrac{1}{2}$ , $\tfrac{1}{4}$ , and $\tfrac{3}{4}$ liters. If the liquid is shared equally among the 4 beakers, how much is in each?

Total $= \tfrac12+\tfrac12+\tfrac14+\tfrac34 = 2$ liters. Shared among 4: $2 \div 4 = \tfrac12$ .

Question 8easy

A line plot shows the lengths of ribbons in inches: 3 ribbons at $\tfrac{1}{8}$ and 1 ribbon at $\tfrac{5}{8}$ . What is the total length of ribbon?

$3 \times \tfrac{1}{8} + \tfrac{5}{8} = \tfrac{3}{8} + \tfrac{5}{8} = \tfrac{8}{8} = 1$ inch.
