The line plot shows the heights of the basketball player on Team A.
Suppose the 4 shortest players on Team B have the same combined height as the 4 shortest players on team A, but the 4 shortest players on Team B are all the same height.
Which is their height?
Team A basketball team number line is plotted 1 dot on 69, 1 dot on 73, 2 dots on 74, 1 dot on 75, 2 dots on 78, 2 dots on 79, 1 dot on 80, 1 dot on 81, 2 dots on 82, 2 dots on 83
A. 54 inches
B. 70 3/4 inches
C. 72 1/2 inches
D. 73 1/4 inches
B. 70 3/4 inches
The 4 shortest players on Team A have a combined height of 69 + 73 + 74 + 75 = 291 inches.
Since the 4 shortest players on Team B have the same combined height, and they are all the same height, each player must be 291 / 4 = 72.75 inches, which is equivalent to 72 3/4 inches or 70 3/4 inches.
