A. 10 cans per bag
B. 9 cans per bag
C. 8 cans per bag
D. 11 cans per bag"

Answer 1

To estimate the number of cans in each bag, divide the total number of cans by the total number of bags. In this case, each bag is estimated to have approximately 9 cans.

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate the number of cans in each bag, we can divide the total number of cans by the total number of bags. In this case, we divide 711 by 76.

711 ÷ 76 = 9.3289

Since we want an estimate, we can round the quotient to the nearest whole number. Therefore, each bag is estimated to have approximately 9 cans.
