Alex says that on five tests he has a mode of 81 but a mean and median of 90. How is this possible? Explain.

well mode is the number that shows up most often so it could show up a couple times but that doesn't mean that the mean (add up the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are) and median (put the number in order from least to greatest and find the middle number) cant be 90
