Students use the provided table of toy car lengths to create a line plot on the number line below.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a list of Josh’s toy car lengths:

- 6 inches
- 3 inches
- 6 inches
- 7 inches
- 4 inches
- 5 inches
- 2 inches
- 7 inches
- 4 inches
- 6 inches

That’s 10 cars total.

Step 1: Count how many times each length appears.

Let’s make a frequency table:

- 2 inches → appears 1 time
- 3 inches → appears 1 time
- 4 inches → appears 2 times (positions 5 and 9)
- 5 inches → appears 1 time
- 6 inches → appears 3 times (positions 1, 3, and 10)
- 7 inches → appears 2 times (positions 4 and 8)

So the counts are:

| Length (inches) | Number of Cars |
|------------------|----------------|
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 1 |
| 6 | 3 |
| 7 | 2 |

Step 2: Create the line plot.

The number line goes from 2 to 7 (since those are the smallest and largest values).

For each length, we put an “x” above it for every car that has that length.

So:

- Above 2: 1 x
- Above 3: 1 x
- Above 4: 2 x’s
- Above 5: 1 x
- Above 6: 3 x’s
- Above 7: 2 x’s

You would draw these on the blank line provided in the worksheet.

Now answer the questions:

1. What does one x stand for?
→ One x stands for one toy car.

2. How many x’s did you put on the number 6?
→ We counted 3 cars that are 6 inches long → so 3 x’s.

3. Why did you put that many x’s?
→ Because there are three toy cars that are 6 inches long. Each x represents one car, so we put three x’s above the number 6.

Final Answer:

1. One x stands for one toy car.
2. 3
3. Because there are three toy cars that are 6 inches long.
