Answer 1

To find the number of students in Mrs. Vitale's class who read 11 books, we first need to determine the total number of students in the class.

From the line plot for Ms. Seiko's class, we can count the total number of dots (which represents the total number of students).

• 1 dot for 7 books
• 3 dots for 9 books
• 2 dots for 10 books
• 6 dots for 12 books
• 5 dots for 13 books
• 2 dots for 14 books
• 1 dot for 15 books

Now, adding those up: 1 + 3 + 2 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 20

So, Ms. Seiko's class has 20 students. Since Mrs. Vitale's class is the same size, it also has 20 students.

According to the information provided, one-fourth of the students in Mrs. Vitale's class read 11 books.

To find one-fourth of 20: \(\frac{20}{4} = 5\)

Thus, the number of students in Mrs. Vitale's class who read 11 books is:

5 students
