Len bought 12.3 ounces of cashews and 15.2 ounces of almonds.
He calculates that if he and four friends share all the nuts equally,
each person will receive 5.1 ounces of nuts.
Which is the best explanation for whether or not his answer is reasonable?
A. Not reasonable; 12.3 + 15.2 = 25.5 and 25.5 ÷ 5 = 4.5.
B. Not reasonable; 12.3 + 15.2 = 27.5 and 27.5 ÷ 5 = 5.5.
C. Reasonable; 12.3 + 15.2 = 27.5 and 27.5 ÷ 5 = 5.1.
D. Reasonable; 12.3 + 15.2 = 25.5 and 25.5 ÷ 5 = 5.1.
Total ounces of nuts is cashews (12.3 ounces) plus almonds (15.2 ounces) is 27.5 ounces. If you divide 27.5 ounces by 5 people, 27.5 / 5 = 5.5 ounces each.
