What is the approximate total weight of four sanitation workers weighing 152 lbs, 168 lbs, 182 lbs, and 201 lbs?

To find the approximate total weight of the four sanitation workers, you need to add together the weights of each individual worker.

The weights provided are 152 lbs, 168 lbs, 182 lbs, and 201 lbs. When you add these numbers together:

152 + 168 + 182 + 201 equals 703 lbs.

This total of 703 pounds is closest to 700 pounds when considering the options given. This makes 700 pounds the accurate response since it represents the nearest approximation of the total weight calculated.

This approach ensures that you understand not just the numerical addition, but also the importance of rounding to the nearest option in multiple-choice scenarios.
