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

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.
