Remember: Add the eighths, then share them. Use smaller parts when it will not split.

Read the plot

1
Each dot is one jar of juice. The numbers under the line count eighths of a cup. How many jars hold 2 eighths of a cup?
2
How many jars of juice are there in all?
534
3

Plot 1
Plot 2
Plot 3
4
All four jars are poured into one pitcher. How many whole cups of juice is that?
5
Each dot is a jar. The numbers under the line count eighths of a cup. These four jars together hold less than 1 cup.
TrueFalse
6
The juice in these four jars (in eighths of a cup) is poured together and shared equally. How much is in each jar? Write a fraction of a cup.
7
Each dot is a jar of water. How much more water is in the fullest jar than in the emptiest jar? Write a fraction of a cup.
8
Which is the total amount of water in the three jars?
1 and 4/8 cups12 cups7/8 cup
9
Join each pair of equal jars to how much they hold together.
  1. 13 eighths + 3 eighths
  2. 24 eighths + 4 eighths
  3. 35 eighths + 5 eighths
  • A6 eighths
  • B8 eighths, which is 1 whole cup
  • C10 eighths, which is 1 and 2/8 cups
10
Four beakers of paint are poured together and shared equally. How much is in each beaker? Write a fraction of a cup.
11
After the paint is shared equally, how much less is in the fullest beaker than before? Write a fraction of a cup.
12
Three jars hold 2 eighths, 2 eighths and 5 eighths of a cup. Write how you find how much each holds if they are shared equally.

Line Plots With Eighths
12 Look at the stack over the number 2 and count its dots.
24 Count every dot. A stack counts once for each jar.
3Plot 2 Plot 2 has one dot at 3 and two dots at 5.
42 2 + 2 + 5 + 7 = 16 eighths, and 8 eighths make 1 cup, so 16 eighths make 2 cups.
5False 1 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 12 eighths. That is more than 8 eighths, which is 1 cup.
63/8 12 eighths shared by 4 jars is 3 eighths each.
76/8 The fullest jar holds 7/8 and the emptiest 1/8. 7/8 − 1/8 = 6/8, which is 3/4.
81 and 4/8 cups 1/8 + 4/8 + 7/8 = 12/8, which is 1 whole and 4/8 more.
91-A, 2-B, 3-C Add the tops and keep eighths. 8 eighths make 1 cup.
101/2 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16 eighths. 16 eighths shared by 4 is 4 eighths, which is 1/2.
113/8 The fullest beaker had 7/8 and now has 4/8. 7/8 − 4/8 = 3/8.
