Answer 2

Answer:

STEP BY STEP EXPLAINATION: 1 ounce=28.3grams(approx)

so, weights of containers= 4.5*28.3=127.35 grams

5.01*28.3=141.78 grams

5.3*28.3=149.99 grams

4.75*28.3=134.42 grams

4.9*28.3=139.65 grams

By adding this weights we get,693.19 grams

converting it into ounces, 693.19/28.3=24.49 ounces

So, the best whole number to estimate the weight of all the containers together is 24.
