Question

leah predicts that an average of 5 passengers will board the bus at each of the 6 stops along her route. the number of passengers that board at the first five stops are 3,7,5,6, and 2 my options are 3.8, 7, 4.6, 5​

Answer 1

B. 7

Explanation:

Let x represent number of passenger at the 6th stop.

We have been given that Leah predicts that an average of 5 passengers will board the bus at each of the 6 stops along her route.

Total number of passenger on Leah's route would be
`5* 6=30`.

Now, we will add number of passenger on each stop and equate with 30 to solve for x.

`3+7+5+6+2+x=30`

`23+x=30`

`23-23+x=30-23`

`x=7`

Therefore, there will be 7 passenger at the 6th stop.
