Biking line plot with fractions worksheet for K5 Learning, featuring a data table and a line plot to be completed.

Let’s go step by step to solve each question using the table of cyclists and their distances.

First, let’s list all the cyclists and their distances clearly:

1. Gina – 40 1/2
2. Rey – 50
3. Faye – 55 3/4
4. Mark – 60
5. John – 45
6. James – 55 1/4
7. Albert – 60
8. William – 45
9. Nathan – 40 1/2
10. Kate – 50
11. Mary – 45
12. Risa – 40 1/2
13. Paul – 60
14. Abi – 40 1/2
15. Joan – 55 3/4

That’s 15 names total.

Question 1: How many cyclists were there?

We just counted — 15 names in the list.

✔ Answer: 15

Question 2: What was the longest distance traveled?

Look at all the distances:

- 40 1/2 appears multiple times
- 45 appears a few times
- 50 appears twice
- 55 1/4 (James)
- 55 3/4 (Faye and Joan)
- 60 (Mark, Albert, Paul)

The biggest number here is 60 miles.

✔ Answer: 60 miles

Question 3: How many cyclists traveled less than 50 miles?

Less than 50 means: 40 1/2 or 45.

Let’s count:

- 40 1/2: Gina, Nathan, Risa, Abi → that’s 4
- 45: John, William, Mary → that’s 3

Total = 4 + 3 = 7

Wait — let’s double-check the list:

Gina (40½), Nathan (40½), Risa (40½), Abi (40½) → 4
John (45), William (45), Mary (45) → 3
Any others? No. Rey is 50 — not less than 50. So yes, 7.

✔ Answer: 7

Question 4: What was the most common distance traveled by the cyclists?

This means: which distance appears most often?

Let’s tally:

- 40 1/2: Gina, Nathan, Risa, Abi → 4 times
- 45: John, William, Mary → 3 times
- 50: Rey, Kate → 2 times
- 55 1/4: James → 1 time
- 55 3/4: Faye, Joan → 2 times
- 60: Mark, Albert, Paul → 3 times

So 40 1/2 appears 4 times — more than any other.

✔ Answer: 40 1/2 miles

Question 5: How many more cyclists traveled 45 miles than 55 1/4 miles?

Cyclists who traveled 45 miles: John, William, Mary → 3

Cyclists who traveled 55 1/4 miles: only James → 1

Difference: 3 - 1 = 2

✔ Answer: 2

---

Question 6: How many cyclists traveled more than 45 miles?

More than 45 means: 50, 55 1/4, 55 3/4, 60

List them:

- 50: Rey, Kate → 2
- 55 1/4: James → 1
- 55 3/4: Faye, Joan → 2
- 60: Mark, Albert, Paul → 3

Add them up: 2 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 8

Double-check: Total cyclists = 15
Those with ≤45: 40½ (4) + 45 (3) = 7
So 15 - 7 = 8 → matches!

✔ Answer: 8

Final Answer:
1. 15
2. 60 miles
3. 7
4. 40 1/2 miles
5. 2
6. 8
