Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of the same unit (1/2 or 1/4 or 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving 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.
