Decide which tick-mark spacing a number line should use for the measurements \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{3}{4}\), \(1\frac{1}{4}\), \(1\frac{1}{2}\) inches: halves, fourths, or eighths. Explain.

Grade 4 Line Plots Worksheet: problems 16–20

Problem 16: Find the missing count

Find the number of marks at \(1\frac{1}{4}\) on a line plot that has 10 marks in all. There are 3 marks at \(\frac{1}{2}\), 2 marks at \(\frac{3}{4}\), and 4 marks at 1. The rest are at \(1\frac{1}{4}\).

Problem 17: Ribbon for a banner

Use the line plot to solve. Aisha needs 2 feet of ribbon for a bake sale banner. She ties the three ribbons that measure \(\frac{3}{4}\text{ ft}\) end to end.

1. Find the length of the tied ribbon.
2. Find how much longer it is than the 2 feet she needs.

Problem 18: Rainfall over 10 days

Use the line plot of rainfall on 10 days to answer each question.

1. Find how much rain fell in all on the days with \(\frac{1}{8}\text{ in.}\) of rain.
2. Find how much more rain fell on the wettest day than on the driest day.
3. Find how much rain fell on all 10 days.

Problem 19: Two garden plots

Use the two line plots of pods that Jamal and Mei measured in their garden.

1. Find how much longer Jamal’s longest pod is than Mei’s longest pod.
2. Find the total length of Jamal’s pods and of Mei’s pods. Then find how much greater Jamal’s total is.

Problem 20: Rope and a knot

Use the line plot. Jamal ties the two longest pieces and one \(1\text{ ft}\) piece end to end. Ignore the knots.

1. Find the total length.
2. Find how much shorter this is than a 4 foot rope.

Grade 4 Line Plots Worksheet: problems 21–22

Problem 21: Find the mistake

Explain Noah’s mistake and find the correct sum. He added the lengths of the two nails on the line plot and wrote \(\frac{5}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{12}{16}\).

Problem 22: Make a plot and solve

Make a line plot with an eighths scale from 0 to 1 for the 7 seed lengths Sofia measured, in inches: \(\frac{1}{4}\), \(\frac{3}{8}\), \(\frac{3}{8}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{5}{8}\), \(\frac{5}{8}\), \(\frac{7}{8}\). Then find (a) the total length of the seeds and (b) how much longer the longest seed is than the shortest seed.
