Respuesta :

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this , we need to make a list of all the fractions represented with the dots . each dot stands for 1 of whatever fraction is given.     for example, there are 2 dots on 3/8  . That  means each dot=3/8

3/8,   3/8,  4/8,  5/8, 7/8.

Step 2: Add them up (because we want to find the total)

3/8+3/8+4/8+5/8+7/8= 6/8+4/8+5/8+7/8=   22/8= 2 6/8=  2 3/4

2 3/4 ,  or 2 6/8 is the answer; it's all the rain that was recorded .

Line plot shows the amounts of rainfall is equals to [tex]2\frac{6}{8}[/tex] inches.

What is line plot?

" Line plot is defined as the representation of the data using point on the number line."

According to the question,

Number of weeks for which rainfall is recorded = 6

Data represents on the line plot = [tex]0, \frac{3}{8} ,\frac{3}{8}, \frac{4}{8}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{7}{8}[/tex]

Total amount of rainfall recorded on line plot in inches

= [tex]0+\frac{3}{8} +\frac{3}{8}+\frac{4}{8}+\frac{5}{8}+ \frac{7}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{22}{8}[/tex]

= [tex]2\frac{6}{8}[/tex] inches

Hence, Option(B) is the correct answer.
