The line plot below shows the length of blots Mr.Skivka found in his drawer. He needs 16 blots that ate longer than 1 inch for a project he is working on.

Does he have enough bolts for his project?

2/8 4/8 6/8 1 1 2/8 1 4/8

Yes, There are 16 blots that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is just enough

Yes. There are 18 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is more than enough.

No. There are only 3 bolts with lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough

No. There are only 12 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough.

To determine whether Mr. Skivka has enough blots for his project, we need to analyze the lengths of the blots given in the line plot.

The lengths of the blots specified include:

  • \(2/8\)
  • \(4/8\)
  • \(6/8\)
  • \(1\)
  • \(1\)
  • \(2/8\)
  • \(1\)
  • \(4/8\)

First, let's convert the fractional lengths to inches:

  • \(2/8 = 0.25\) inches
  • \(4/8 = 0.5\) inches
  • \(6/8 = 0.75\) inches
  • \(1 = 1\) inch

The blots longer than 1 inch are:

  • None of the given lengths exceed 1 inch.

Now let's count the lengths that are greater than 1 inch:

  • Bolts longer than 1 inch: 0

Since Mr. Skivka needs 16 blots that are longer than 1 inch for his project and there are none available, he clearly does not have enough.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
No. There are only 3 bolts with lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough. (Note: In this case, since we evaluated that there are no blots exceeding 1 inch, the number "3" in the options is incorrect, and the actual number is zero. However, based on the structure of your original question, this option closest reflects the conclusion that there are not enough blots exceeding 1 inch.)
