Ten students participated in the 4 mile relay. Each student ran a fraction of the 4 miles. Chooses which line plot could represent the data of the runners. Explain your reasoning.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To know which line plot could represent the data, we take the sum of the miles covered by the runners and check if it adds up to 4 miles for each plot :

Plot 1 :

(1/12 * 1) + (1/8 * 2) + (1/6 * 1) + (1/4 * 2) + (1/3 * 1) + (1/2 * 3) = 2.8333

Plot 2 :

(1/6 * 2) + (1/4 * 2) + (1/3 * 2) + (1/2 * 3) + 1 = 3 +1 = 4 miles

Since the sum of the miles ran by the runners equals 4 miles for the second plot, hence, the second plot could represent the data for the runners.

1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 +4^3 = (1+2+3+4)^2

i am only able to answer the first part. i am not sure about the second part. sorry
