The line plot shows the weights of packages of meat available at a supermarket. Katrice says that if a customer purchases the 3

lightest packages at a cost of $4.40

per pound, the customer will pay 10.45 . Is Katrice correct? Explain.

No line plot. Cannot copy and paster here.

Cant answer no line plot

To determine whether Katrice's statement is correct, we need to analyze the line plot and calculate the total cost of the three lightest packages.

First, let's understand the information provided. The line plot represents the weights of packages of meat available at a supermarket. Each point on the line plot corresponds to a package of meat, and the y-axis indicates the weight of the package. However, we are not given the weights explicitly, so we'll need to estimate them based on the line plot.

To estimate the weights, we'll consider the x-axis as the number of packages of meat and divide the y-axis (cost) by the slope of the line plot. Let's assume the difference in costs between the consecutive points on the line plot also represents equal weight differences.

Now, let's identify the three lightest packages on the line plot. Look for the three lowest points. Once you've identified those three packages, determine their corresponding weights using the assumptions we made earlier.

Finally, calculate the total cost of the three lightest packages by multiplying their weights by the cost per pound, which is $4.40.

Compare the calculated total cost with the amount Katrice claims, $10.45. If the calculated total cost matches Katrice's claim, her statement is correct; otherwise, it is incorrect.

By following these steps, you should be able to determine whether Katrice's claim is correct based on the given line plot.
