Recall that the mode of a set of numbers is the most frequently-occuring number in the set.
A set may have no mode, one mode, or more than one mode.
It helps to put the numbers in order (ascending or descending).
1.19, 1.28, 1.47, 1.48, 1.52, 1.55, 1.66, 1.76, 1.76, 1.83, 1.85, 1.85
As you can see, the numbers 1.76 and 1.85 appear two times each so these are the modes.
