Oh how many days did Maureen's father pour 1 cup of milk or less into his cereal?
_______ Days

Answer 1

To answer the question, we need to analyze the line plot provided.

From your description, it appears that the line plot shows the amount of milk poured into cereal across different days. The values you've provided are:

• 1/2 cup of milk
• 3/4 cup of milk
• 1 cup of milk

We can interpret the "X" marks as days. To determine how many days Maureen's father poured 1 cup of milk or less, we can count the occurrences of "X" marks that fall at or below the 1-cup mark.

Based on your line plot information:

• It seems there is one "X" at 1/2 cup.
• There are three "X" marks at 3/4 cup.
• There is one "X" at 1 cup.

Now let’s count the total days with the provided amounts:

• 1/2 cup: 1 day
• 3/4 cup: 3 days
• 1 cup: 1 day

Adding these together gives us: 1 (1/2) + 3 (3/4) + 1 (1) = 5 days

Therefore, Maureen's father poured 1 cup of milk or less into his cereal for a total of 5 days.
