About this worksheet
This interactive and printable worksheet titled "Line Plots with Fractions" focuses on helping students practice solving problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions and whole numbers. The worksheet presents a scenario where two brothers, Jack and Mark, are buying cupcakes at a bakery shop over the course of a week, and students are asked to answer various questions related to the number of cupcakes they bought each day.
The worksheet provides a line plot that shows the number of cupcakes purchased by the brothers on different days of the week, and students are required to interpret the information to answer questions about the total number of cupcakes bought, the day with the third-highest number of cupcakes, and more. This worksheet is designed to help students develop their understanding of line plots and their ability to work with fractions in a real-world context.

Common Core standards covered
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots. For example, from a line plot find and interpret the difference in length between the longest and shortest specimens in an insect collection.
