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

B

Step-by-step explanation:

got it right on my quiz

The approximate total weight of the grapefruits, using the clustering estimation technique is B. 35 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

We notice that the weights of the grapefruits given are slightly down or above 7, then we will use 7 as our cluster for the estimation, as follows:

Weights

7.47 ⇒ 7

7.23 ⇒ 7

6.46 ⇒ 7

7.48 ⇒ 7

6.81 ⇒ 7

Now we can add up 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 for the weights of the grapefruits and the approximate total weight is B. 35 ounces.
