This math worksheet helps students practice interpreting line plots by analyzing a fictional coin collection and answering data-based questions.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a line plot titled “Coin Collection” that shows how many coins of each type were collected between 1900 and 2000. The types of coins are: Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, Half-Dollars.

Each “X” on the plot represents one coin.

Question 1: How many pennies did she collect in total?

Look at the “Pennies” column. Count the X’s above it.

There are 3 X’s → So, 3 pennies.

---

Question 2: How many fewer dimes did she collect than half-dollars?

First, count dimes: Look at “Dimes” — there are 4 X’s → 4 dimes.

Now, count half-dollars: Look at “Half-Dollars” — there are 6 X’s → 6 half-dollars.

Fewer dimes than half-dollars = 6 - 4 = 2

So, she collected 2 fewer dimes than half-dollars.

Question 3: Which denomination makes up the majority number of coins she collected?

“Majority” means the most — which type has the highest number of X’s?

Let’s count all:

- Pennies: 3
- Nickels: 5 (count the X’s above “Nickels”)
- Dimes: 4
- Quarters: 7 (count carefully — yes, 7 X’s)
- Half-Dollars: 6

Quarters have 7 — that’s the most.

So, Quarters make up the majority.

---

Question 4: How many quarters did she collect in total?

From above — we counted 7 X’s above “Quarters”.

So, 7 quarters.

---

Question 5: How many more quarters did she collect than nickels?

Quarters: 7
Nickels: 5

More quarters than nickels = 7 - 5 = 2

So, 2 more quarters than nickels.

Final Answer:
1. 3
2. 2
3. Quarters
4. 7
5. 2
