<u>The approximate total weight of the grapefruits, using the clustering estimation technique is B. 35 ounces.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
We notice that the weights of the grapefruits given are slightly down or above 7, then we will use <em>7 as our cluster</em> for the estimation, as follows:
Weights
7.47 ⇒ 7
7.23 ⇒ 7
6.46 ⇒ 7
7.48 ⇒ 7
6.81 ⇒ 7
<u>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.</u>
