Write your answer as a fraction, mixed number, or whole number
_____ Cups

Answer 1

Based on the line plot you described, the amount of milk in cereal shows the following amounts:

• 1/2 cup (4 occurrences)
• 3/4 cup (3 occurrences)
• 1 cup (1 occurrence)

From this information, we can determine that:

• The least amount of milk poured is 1/2 cup.
• The most amount of milk poured is 1 cup.

To find out how much more milk Maureen's father poured on the day he poured the most (1 cup) compared to the day he poured the least (1/2 cup), we subtract the least from the most.

1 cup - 1/2 cup = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 cup.

So, the answer is:

1/2 Cups.
