Question

Two students were asked to use estimation strategies to find

a reasonable solution to this question:
A market sells blueberries for $3 per pint. The first day, the
market sold a total of $35 worth of blueberries. The second
day, the market sold a total of $47 worth of blueberries. And
the third day, the market sold a total of $57 worth of
blueberries. Estimate how many pints the market sold over
the three days​

Answer 1

15.45 pints on average

46.34 pints total

Explanation:

To find out on average how many pints he sold in those 3 days, we must first calculate how many pints per day, knowing that $ 3 is a pint.

So,

first day

3/35 = 11.67

second day:

47/3 = 15.67

third day:

57/3 = 19

then the average would be:

(11.67 + 15.67 + 19) / 3 = 15.45

That is to say that on average 15.45 pints were sold in those 3 days

Or what is equal to having sold in those 3 days 46.34 pints
