Line plot Amy filled bags with nuts. She weighed the bags and made a line plot to show how much each bag weighed. If there are is 1/8 on the line plot with 8 x marks above it, 1/4 on the plot with 4 x marks above it, and 1/2 with 4 x marks above it? How many pounds of nuts did Amy fill into bags? What was the average weight of the bags of nnuts that amy filled? If you could help answer that ?, that will be great asap. Thanks
To find out the total weight of nuts that Amy filled into the bags, we can use the line plot information.
From the line plot, we see that there are 8 x marks above 1/8, 4 x marks above 1/4, and 4 x marks above 1/2. This means that Amy had 8 bags weighing 1/8 pound, 4 bags weighing 1/4 pound, and 4 bags weighing 1/2 pound.
To find the total weight, we need to sum up the weight of each bag type.
Number of bags weighing 1/8 pound = 8
Weight of each bag weighing 1/8 pound = 1/8 pound
Total weight of bags weighing 1/8 pound = (Number of bags) x (Weight of each bag) = 8 x 1/8 = 1 pound
Number of bags weighing 1/4 pound = 4
Weight of each bag weighing 1/4 pound = 1/4 pound
Total weight of bags weighing 1/4 pound = (Number of bags) x (Weight of each bag) = 4 x 1/4 = 1 pound
Number of bags weighing 1/2 pound = 4
Weight of each bag weighing 1/2 pound = 1/2 pound
Total weight of bags weighing 1/2 pound = (Number of bags) x (Weight of each bag) = 4 x 1/2 = 2 pounds
Finally, we can add up the weights of all the bag types to find the total weight of nuts Amy filled into the bags:
1 pound + 1 pound + 2 pounds = 4 pounds
Therefore, Amy filled a total of 4 pounds of nuts into the bags.
To find the average weight of the bags of nuts, we can divide the total weight by the number of bags.
Total weight of nuts = 4 pounds
Number of bags = 8 (from the 8 bags weighing 1/8 pound)
Average weight of the bags = (Total weight of nuts) / (Number of bags) = 4/8 = 0.5 pound
Therefore, the average weight of the bags of nuts that Amy filled is 0.5 pound.
