Build and check displays as recipes are scaled for a school event.

Dot Plots: Recipe Measurements

The bakery is testing recipe sizes for a school event. Each X in a dot plot represents one batch.

The flour measurements for six test batches are 1, 1.5, 1.5, 2, 2, and 3 cups. The draft dot plot below is missing one X. What correction is needed?

A. Add one X above 2.5 cups.
B. Add one X above 2 cups.
C. Add one X above 1.5 cups.
D. Add one X above 3 cups.

Nine scaled muffin recipes use these amounts of oats, in cups: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 1, 2, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.5. Make a dot plot on the number line. Use one X per recipe and stack repeated values. Label the axis “Oats per recipe (cups).”
