question

A beekeeper harvested honey from several hives. This frequency table shows the amounts collected.

Honey collection
Amount (gallons)	Frequency
1 2	1
3 4	4
4	3
1 2	1

What amount of honey did the beekeeper collect the most?

gallons

solution

The numbers in the frequency column tell you the number of times the beekeeper collected each amount of honey. The amount of honey collected the most is the one with the largest frequency.

Honey collection
Amount (gallons)	Frequency
1 2	1
3 4	4

The largest frequency is 4. In that row, the amount collected is

gallons. So, the amount of honey the beekeeper collected the most was

gallons.
