Linda is making a line plot of the data below.
11.25, 12.5, 11.25, 14.125, 10.5, 11.25, 12
Which line plot represents the data correctly?
A.
A line plot shows a number line from 10 to 15 in intervals of 0.25. 10.5 has 1 dot. 11.25 has 3 dots. 12 has 1 dot. 12.5 has 1 dot. 14.125 has 1 dot.
B.
A line plot shows a number line from 10 to 15 in intervals of 0.25. 10.5 has 1 dot. 11.25 has 2 dots. 12 has 1 dot. 12.5 has 1 dot. 14.125 has 1 dot.
C.
A line plot shows a number line from 10 to 15 in intervals of 0.25. 10.5 has 1 dot. 11.25 has 3 dots. 12 has 1 dot. 12.5 has 1 dot. 13.75 has 1 dot.
D.
A line plot shows a number line from 10 to 15 in intervals of 0.25. 10.5 has 1 dot. 11.25 has 3 dots. 12 has 1 dot. 14.125 has 1 dot.

A line plot shows a number line from 10 to 15 in intervals of 0.25. 10.5 has 1 dot. 11.25 has 3 dots. 12 has 1 dot. 12.5 has 1 dot. 14.125 has 1 dot.
To determine which line plot represents the data correctly, we need to compare the given data to the information provided in each option.
In the given data, the numbers are: 11.25, 12.5, 11.25, 14.125, 10.5, 11.25, 12
Let's analyze each option:
Option A: According to this option, the line plot shows 10.5 with 1 dot, 11.25 with 3 dots, 12 with 1 dot, 12.5 with 1 dot, and 14.125 with 1 dot.
Option B: According to this option, the line plot shows 10.5 with 1 dot, 11.25 with 2 dots, 12 with 1 dot, 12.5 with 1 dot, and 14.125 with 1 dot.
Option C: According to this option, the line plot shows 10.5 with 1 dot, 11.25 with 3 dots, 12 with 1 dot, 12.5 with 1 dot, and 13.75 with 1 dot.
Option D: According to this option, the line plot shows 10.5 with 1 dot, 11.25 with 3 dots, 12 with 1 dot, and 14.125 with 1 dot.
Comparing the options to the given data, we can see that the correct line plot representation is Option D. It correctly represents the number of dots for each data point.
To create a line plot for the given data, we need to represent each data point with a dot above the corresponding value on a number line. Let's go through each option to determine which one correctly represents the given data.
Option A states that the line plot should have 1 dot for 10.5, 3 dots for 11.25, 1 dot for 12, 1 dot for 12.5, and 1 dot for 14.125.
Option B states that the line plot should have 1 dot for 10.5, 2 dots for 11.25, 1 dot for 12, 1 dot for 12.5, and 1 dot for 14.125.
Option C states that the line plot should have 1 dot for 10.5, 3 dots for 11.25, 1 dot for 12, 1 dot for 12.5, and 1 dot for 13.75.
Option D states that the line plot should have 1 dot for 10.5, 3 dots for 11.25, 1 dot for 12, and 1 dot for 14.125.
Now, let's compare these options to the given data.
The given data includes the number 11.25 three times. So, we need to choose the option that has 3 dots above 11.25. The correct option is Option A, which states that there are 3 dots for the value 11.25.
Therefore, the line plot that correctly represents the given data is option A.
