Hours Spent Exercising How many total hours do the students spend exercising? not 29

Answer 1

To find the total hours spent exercising by the students in Ms. Rodriguez's class based on the dot plot provided, we need to count the number of dots associated with each hour and then multiply by the corresponding hours.

From the dot plot, it appears the hours spent exercising are as follows:

- 0 hours: 7 dots
- 1 hour: 5 dots
- 2 hours: 2 dots
- 3 hours: 4 dots
- 4 hours: 1 dot

Now we can calculate the total hours for each category:

- **0 hours:** \(0 \times 7 = 0\)
- **1 hour:** \(1 \times 5 = 5\)
- **2 hours:** \(2 \times 2 = 4\)
- **3 hours:** \(3 \times 4 = 12\)
- **4 hours:** \(4 \times 1 = 4\)

Finally, we add these totals together:

\[
0 + 5 + 4 + 12 + 4 = 25
\]

Thus, the total hours spent exercising by the students in Ms. Rodriguez's class is **25 hours**.
