Students solve three real-world problems — seedling growth totals, combining all sauce from a line plot, and analyzing a rainfall data set. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about total test time, filtered group counts, and partial group totals from a bread-weight line plot.
Real-world fraction line plot problems involving science measurements, cooking quantities, and weather data connect data analysis to the practical contexts students encounter across all subjects at Grade 5.

Line Plots with Fractions
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A gardener records seedling growth in inches: 18→3 Xs, 14→5 Xs, 38→4 Xs, 12→2 Xs. What is the total growth of all seedlings?
A) 378 inches
B) 418 inches
C) 358 inches
D) 4 inches
2. A chef measures leftover sauce in cups: 14→6 Xs, 12→4 Xs, 34→2 Xs. She combines all sauce (total = 5 cups) and uses 3 cups. How much sauce remains?
A) 2 cups
B) 1 cup
C) 112 cups
D) 12 cup
3. Students tracked rainfall over 15 days: 0→3 Xs, 14→4 Xs, 12→5 Xs, 34→2 Xs, 1→1 X. What fraction of the 15 days had 12 inch or more of rain?
A) 815
B) 715
C) 515
D) 13
4. A line plot shows ribbon per gift in yards: 14→3 Xs, 12→5 Xs, 34→4 Xs, 1→2 Xs. Total = 814 yards. Ribbon is sold in 5-yard rolls. How many complete rolls are needed?
A) 1 roll
B) 3 rolls
C) 2 rolls
D) 4 rolls
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A line plot shows test times in hours: 14→4 Xs, 12→8 Xs, 34→6 Xs, 1→2 Xs. Total time for all 20 students (write as a mixed number): 1112 hours.
2. Using the test time data, the number of students who took less than 34 hour is 12.
3. A line plot shows bread weights in pounds: 38→3 Xs, 12→5 Xs, 58→4 Xs, 34→2 Xs. Total weight of 58-pound loaves (write as a mixed number): 212 pounds.
4. Using the bread data, total weight of ALL loaves combined (write as a fraction): 618.
5. A line plot shows how far students live from school in miles: 14→5 Xs, 12→3 Xs, 34→4 Xs, 1→2 Xs. If each student walks to school AND back home, total distance walked by ALL students is 1512 miles.

★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1) A line plot shows test times in hours: 1/4→4 Xs, 1/2→8 Xs, 3/4→6 Xs, 1→2 Xs. Total time for all 20 students (write as a mixed number): 11 1/2 hours.
2) Using the test time data, the number of students who took less than 3/4 hour is 12.
3) A line plot shows bread weights in pounds: 3/8→3 Xs, 1/2→5 Xs, 5/8→4 Xs, 3/4→2 Xs. Total weight of 5/8-pound loaves (write as a mixed number): 2 1/2 pounds.
4) Using the bread data, total weight of ALL loaves combined (write as a fraction): 61/8.
5) A line plot shows how far students live from school in miles: 1/4→5 Xs, 1/2→3 Xs, 3/4→4 Xs, 1→2 Xs. If each student walks to school AND back home, total distance walked by ALL students is 15 1/2 miles.
