 Sum of 80

8. Look at this set of four number cards.

20 20 20 20

The sum of these numbers is 80

Now look at the two sets of number cards below.

Set A Set B

17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

Which set has a sum that is closer to 80?

this one Set A Set B

Explain your answer.

Set A was closest to the number 80 because the sum of set a was 74 and the sum of set b was 90. 74
had a difference of 6 but 90 had a difference of 10. This means that 74 was the closest.

Here is their plan for how to collect the sample.

Plan

Choose one oak tree.

Take 10 leaves from the lowest branches of the tree.

Give two reasons why this sample of leaves may

not be representative of all oak leaves.

First reason: Because there are more leaves above it, it may not have had
much photosynthesis as the other leaves may have blocked the sunlight.
