A small orchard is made up of 12 trees that all together produce 72 apples. Which of the following is the best estimate of how many apples each tree produces?

3 apples per tree

15 apples per tree

12 apples per tree

7 apples per tree

17 apples per tree

Which of the following is the best estimate of how many apples each tree produces?

3 apples per tree

15 apples per tree

12 apples per tree

7 apples per tree

17 apples per tree

Here, We will simply divide the number of apples produced by 12 trees by the number of trees and then we will round it off to it's nearest 'ones' place.

⇒ Total number of apples each tree produces =

Substituting the values given, We get,

⇒ Total number of apples each tree produce =

⇒ Total number of apples each tree produces = 6

Now, when we round it off to it's nearest 'ones' place, We get,

⇒ Round off 6 = 7

Since, We can see that, 4th option from the list of option given, is 7. Therefore 7 is the answer.
