Answer 1

Part A

For the line plot, the best scale should cover all the distances to the library represented in the data, which includes distances in fractional miles. The distances given are:

• Margaret: 1 1/2 (1.5)
• Tabor: 1/2 (0.5)
• Alicia: 2
• Trevor: 1/2 (0.5)
• Damari: 1
• China: 1 1/2 (1.5)
• Steven: 12
• Hua: 1 1/2 (1.5)
• Evan: 2
• Ingrid: 1 1/2 (1.5)

Considering these values, the most appropriate scale is:

0, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2

Part B

Now let's complete the sentences based on the given data:

1. To determine how many dots will be above each distance, we count:
   • 1: Damari = 1 dot
   • 1/2: Tabor and Trevor = 2 dots
   • 1 1/2: Margaret, China, Hua, and Ingrid = 4 dots

Now we can complete the sentences:

• There will be 1 dot(s) above 1, and there will be 4 dot(s) above 1 1/2.
• There will be 1 more dot(s) above 1/2 than above 1. (Since there are 2 dots above 1/2 and 1 dot above 1)

Summary of Answers

• Part A: 0, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2
• Part B Completion:
  • There will be 1 dot(s) above 1, and there will be 4 dot(s) above 1 1/2.
  • There will be 1 more dot(s) above 1/2 than above 1.
