Lena collects antique spoons. The line plot shows the length of the spoons in her collection. If she lines up all of her spoons in order of size, what is the size of the middle spoon? Explain.

See the figure attached with the complete question, including the line plot.

The size of the middle spoon is 4/4 feet = 1 feet.

Explanation:

Each mark on the line plot represents a spoon and the position on the line indicates its length,

There are two marks over the the lenght 1/4, thus there are two spoons with that length,One spoon with length 2/4,One spoon with length 3/4,Four spoons with length 4/4, andOne spoon with length 5/4

Those are in total 9 spoons. Thus, if she lines up all of her spoons in order size, the fifth spoon is the middle spoon, and its size is 4/4 feet.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
