Hi, I think the number line is separated in 1/4's.
We are dealing with addition of fractions here.
I have the first piece of ribbon is at 12
But I am not understanding the set up. any hint?
Thanks

You say: "I have the first piece of ribbon is at 12" - why worry about that? What is the FIND?

Look at the graph carefully! The longest pieces are .....
 
No! How many pieces are 14.5" long?
only one!
and the one with 15 inches long, yes
 
There are two that measure [imath]14.5[/imath] and only that measures [imath]15[/imath].
What is the answer?

never say give up. I will never say give up on someone who tries. I will say how can I get thru to him!. I repeat. I did not know the crosses were telling the numbers of pieces!
I have to reinforce certain skills before I proceed with 8th and 9th math

Kelly recorded lengths of 9 pieces of ribbons. How many crosses are there on the graph? I do not see how else it could be interpreted!!

You see it easily. I don't. I had to go back to 5th grade math because I need to practice interpretation of visuals and stuff like that. I feel i have a hard time interpreting visuals. That is why I keep posting this apparently easy stuff for many not for me.

Doc, comparing any of my skills to yours will be comparing Mount Everest to Mount Wycheproof!. Don't say you give up on me, c'mon.:)
 
Believe it or not, with the help if all my tutors here I have been gaining knowledge in interpretation of visuals. Step by step.
