Weigh 4.5 ounces, 5.01 ounces, 5.3 ounces 4.75 ounces 4.9 ounces which is the best whole number of estimate of how much all the containers wieigh together

Respuesta :

I'd round off all five weights, obtaining {4.5, 5, 5, 5, 5}.  The sum of these five weights is 24.5, which we divide by 5 to obtain the estimate:

24.5
------ =  4.9.  Round this up to the nearest whole number:  5.  This is "the best         5               whole number estimate of the contents of these 5 containers."
