### Lesson 10.1 Analyze Line Plots

Solve & Share
Several students were asked how many blocks they walk from home to school each day. The results are shown in the line plot below. Miguel walks the shortest distance. Jila walks the longest distance. How much farther than Miguel does Jila walk?

Miguel walks 4.25 blocks more than Jila.

Explanation:
Here, the line plot is shown in the question which represents the distance traveled by the students from their houses to their school. So the distance between 1 and 2 is $$\frac{1}{4}$$ which is 0.25 blocks. So the shortest distance traveled by Miguel is 0.25 blocks. And the longest distance traveled by Jila is 4.5 blocks. So the difference between the distances covered by Miguel and Jila is 4.5 – 0.25 = 4.25 blocks. So Miguel walks 4.25 blocks more than Jila.

Essential Question How Can You Critique the Reasoning of Others?

A.
Ms. Kelly’s class made a line plot showing how many hours each student spent watching television the previous evening. Amanda said, “No one watched TV for 3 hours.” Drake said, “No, 3 of us watched no TV.” Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

What information do Amanda and Drake use for reasoning?
Amanda and Drake base their reasoning on their analysis of the data displayed on the line plot.

B.
How can I critique the reasoning of others?
I can
• decide if the statements make sense.
• look for mistakes in calculations.
• clarify or correct flaws in reasoning.
