what is the biggest thing about line plots
you have to break the number line up like the fractions (if given), or keep going by ones
solve for the total
how much do people eat ( pounds )
breakfast. lunch. dinner
1 1/2. 2. 2 1/2
1. 2. 3
1. 1 1/2. 2
1+2+2+1+2+3+1+1+2=15
1/2+1/2+1/2=1 1/2
15+1 1/2= 16 1/2
16 1/2
