James buys 8 tomatoes that have a combined weight of 4.5 pounds. The scale measures to the nearest hundredth of a pound. What is the most precise value of the average weight of the tomatoes that James purchases, given the level of accuracy of the scale?

Most precise value of the average weight is 0.56 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the precise value, we start by getting the average weight

That will be total weight/8

= 4.5 pounds/8 = 0.5625

we are told that the scale records to the nearest hundredth

So we need to express the obtained value in hundredths

That will be 0.56 pounds
