Hal has four cases of coconuts. Each case contains between 23 and 27 coconuts. The weight of each coconut is between 1 and 3 pounds. Hal estimates the total weight of all four cases to be 100 pounds. Is this a reasonable estimate?

A. No, the estimate should be lower.

B. Yes, the estimate given is reasonable.

C. No, the estimate should be higher.

Respuesta :

No, the estimate should be higher.

average of 23 and 27 = (23 + 27) ÷ 2 = 25

average of 1 and 3 = (1 + 3) ÷ 2 = 2

estimate weight per case = 25 x 2 = 50 pounds 

There are 4 cases

50 x 4 = 200 pounds


Answer:

Yes it is reasonable
