Question

The weights of five grapefruits are 7.47 ounces, 7.23 ounces, 6.46 ounces, 7.48 ounces, and 6.81 ounces. Using the clustering estimation technique, what is the approximate total weight of the grapefruits?
34 ounces
35 ounces
35.45 ounces
35.5 ounces

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weights of five oranges are 7.47 ounces, 7.23 ounces, 6.46 ounces, 7.48 ounces, and 6.81 ounces.

To use the clustering estimation method of estimation, find the best common number that the numbers in our problem cluster around.

Here, all the given numbers are cluster around 7.

Thus, the approximate total weight of the oranges=7\times5=7×5

Hence, the approximate total weight of the oranges=35 ounces

Answer 2

Given : The weights of five grapefruits are 7.47 ounces, 7.23 ounces, 6.46 ounces, 7.48 ounces, and 6.81 ounces.

To Find : the approximate total weight of the grapefruits? Using the clustering estimation technique,

Solution:

weights of five grapefruits are

7.47 ounces,

7.23 ounces,

6.46 ounces,

7.48 ounces,

6.81 ounces.

All weights clustering around 7 ounces

Hence total Weight  = 5 * 7

= 35 Ounces

Using the clustering estimation technique, approximate total weight of the grapefruits  = 35 Ounces
