seconds

The team's finishing time is 188 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Team's average time is 47 seconds means all players finishes in 47 seconds.

Cluster Estimation: Used to estimate sum & product when the numbers that we are adding or multiplying cluster near to a same number .

Here, all given time cluster near to the average time i.e., 47 seconds.

So, the team's finishing time = 47 + 47 + 47 + 47

                                               = 4 × 47

                                               = 188 seconds

Therefore, The team's finishing time is 188 seconds.
