15 apples per tree
12 apples per tree
7 apples per tree
17 apples per tree
<h3>____________________</h3>
<h2><u>Solution :-</u></h2>
<h3><u>Given Information :-</u></h3>
- <u>Number of trees ➢</u> 12
- <u>Apples produced by all 12 trees ➢</u> 72
<h3><u>To Find :-</u></h3>
Which of the following is the best estimate of how many apples each tree produces?
3 apples per tree
15 apples per tree
12 apples per tree
7 apples per tree
17 apples per tree
<h3><u>Calculation :-</u></h3>
Here, We will simply divide the number of apples produced by 12 trees by the number of trees and then we will round it off to it's nearest 'ones' place.
⇒ Total number of apples each tree produces =
<em><u>Substituting the values given, We get, </u></em>
⇒ Total number of apples each tree produce =
⇒ Total number of apples each tree produces = 6
<em><u>Now, when we round it off to it's nearest 'ones' place, We get, </u></em>
⇒ Round off 6 = 7
<em><u>Since, We can see that, 4th option from the list of option given, is 7. Therefore 7 is the answer.</u></em>
