Answer: She have to use her cell phone for 58 minutes in the fourth month.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of minutes Grace used her cell phone are as follows :

43 minutes, 62 minutes, 57 minutes, x.

Average = 55 minutes

As we know the formula for "Average":


Average=(43+62+57+x)/(4)\\\\55=(162+x)/(4)\\\\55* 4=162+x\\\\220-162=x\\\\58=x

Hence, She have to use her cell phone for 58 minutes in the fourth month.
