    Step-by-step explanation: Lets estimate first to the nearest whole number.

    15.8 kilograms estimated is 16 kg

    17.42 kilograms estimated is 17 kg

    16.28 kilograms estimated is 16 kg

    Now add the estimated values, 16 + 17 + 16 = 49 kg

    The estimate gives you the correct answer because it gives you an accurate reasonable amount in this problem.
