Naeem weighs different salad takeout containers. the containers respectively weigh 4.5 ounces, 5.01 ounces, 5.3 ounces, 4.75 ounces, and 4.9 ounces. which is the best whole number estimate of how much all the containers weigh together? 22 ounces 24.46 ounces 24.5 ounces 25 ounces                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            explain how you got the answer, i am not understanding it  : /

The total weight is given by 4.5 + 5.01 + 5.3 + 4.75 + 4.9 = 24.46

The value 24.46 is in between two whole numbers; 24 and 25

The value 24.50 onwards would have been rounded up to 25

The value 24.46 is rounded down to 24 to the nearest whole number

25 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of first container=4.5 ounces

Weight of second container=5.01 ounces

Weight of third container=5.3 ounces

Weight of fourth container=4.75 ounces

Weight of fifth container=4.9 ounces

Weight of all the containers= sum of weight of all the containers

= 4.5+5.01+5.3+4.75+4.9

=24.46 ounces

24.46 is estimated to whole number as 25

Hence, 25 ounces is correct answer.
