______ Cups

Answer 1

From your line plot, it appears that the amount of milk poured into cereal is represented on the horizontal axis with ticks showing the different quantities:

• 1/2 cup
• 3/4 cup
• 1 cup

The line plot indicates the following:

• There are 4 instances of 1/2 cup.
• There are 3 instances of 3/4 cup.
• There are 5 instances of 1 cup.

Since there are 5 markers at 1 cup, this indicates that Maureen's father poured the most milk on that day, which is 1 cup.

Therefore, the answer is:

1 Cup
