Fuller bought 7 cantaloupes at the grocery store. Each cantaloupe weighed between 4.9 and 6.4 pounds. Fuller estimates a reasonable weight of all the cantaloupes to be 35.7 pounds. Is this a reasonable estimate?

Answer: Yes the estimate is very close

Explanation:

Multiply 4.9 x 7 then Multiply 6.4 x 7

if 35.7 is in between these 2 numbers this is correct
