Answer:
The question is lacking the accompanying line plot, I found a matching line plot online:
Answers:
a) The number of minutes te greatest number of students took to do their homework = 40 minutes
b) The number of combined hours the students spent on their homework [tex]= 5\frac{1}{3}\ hours[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram, the greatest number of students ( 8 students) take 2/3 hours to do their homework. Converting this time to minutes:
1 hour = 60 minutes
∴ 2/3 hours = 60 × 2/3 = 120/3 = 40 minutes
∴ 40 minutes is the time the greatest number of students take to do their homework
b) combined hours those students did their homework is calculated as follows:
total time = (number of hours used by 1 student) × number of students
[tex]Total\ time = \frac{2}{3} \times 8 = \frac{16}{3}\\= 5\frac{1}{3} \ hours[/tex]
