A fifth grade class collected data about class spending per month on various items. Below are some of the results.
A median amount of $6 per month was spent for books and magazine.
A median amount of $10 per month was spent for tapes and CDs.
A median amount of $8 per month was spent for movie tickets.
The number-line plots below displays the data.match the plots with the items:

To match the plots with the items, we need to analyze the given information.
First, let's understand what a median is. The median is the middle value of a set of data when the data is arranged in ascending or descending order.
From the given information, we have the following medians:
- A median of $6 per month for books and magazines.
- A median of $10 per month for tapes and CDs.
- A median of $8 per month for movie tickets.
Now, let's interpret the number-line plots and find the plots that match the items.
Number-line plots typically display data on a number line where each data point is marked with a dot or a cross.
1. The plot with a median of $6 corresponds to books and magazines. Look for a number-line plot with a median value around $6.
2. The plot with a median of $10 corresponds to tapes and CDs. Look for a number-line plot with a median value around $10.
3. The plot with a median of $8 corresponds to movie tickets. Look for a number-line plot with a median value around $8.
By comparing the medians of the data with the given number-line plots, you can match each plot with its respective item.
It's important to note that without the actual plots and their specific values, I cannot provide a definite answer. Please refer to the given number-line plots and compare the medians to identify the matching plots for each item.
