              Practice


              5       Class 3 used this table to make estimates of the number of grains in

                    different plastic bags.


                                             Number of                                      Number of
                      Mass of grains                                 Mass of grains
                                                grains                                         grains


                           5 grams               100                    30 grams                  600

                         10 grams                200                    35 grams                  700


                         15 grams                300                    40 grams                  800


                         20 grams                400                    45 grams                  900


                         25 grams                500                    50 grams                1000



                    a   Samira estimates that her plastic bag had 300 to 400 grains.

                       They weighed 18 grams. Is this a good estimate?





                    b  Pedro’s grains weighed 31 grams.
                         What range would be a good estimate for his grains?
