Question

The line plot shows the number of bags of grapes,grouped by weight, to the nearest 1/8 pound. How many bags of grapes had a weight of 3/8 pound or less

Answer 1

2.25 pounds

Explanation:

The diagram showing the weight of bags with grapes is shown in the attached file below.

From the diagram; number of bags of grapes that had a weight of
`(3)/(8)` pounds or less is:

`(3)/(8)` pounds = 3

`(1)/(4)` pounds = 4

`(1)/(8)` pounds = 1

Thus; the total is = 3+4+1 = 8

However, The total weight of the grapes in the bag that had a weight of
`(3)/(8)` pounds or less is :

=
`(3)/(8)(3) + (1)/(4)(4) + (1)/(8)(1)`

=
`(9)/(8) + 1 + (1)/(8)`

=
`(9+8+1)/(8)`

=
`(18)/(8)`

= 2.25 pounds
