Question

What's the average of 64 and 63

Answer 1

You add them together and divide by 2 because there are 2 numbers and you will get your answer

Answer 2

To work out the average, you add all the terms and divide that by the number of terms there are.

64 + 63 = 127
127 ÷ 2 = 63.5

The answer is 63.5.

However, because these are only two consecutive integers, you just add 0.5 to find the average. e.g: average of 2 and 3 = 2.5, average of 3 + 4 = 3.5, average of 6 + 7 = 6.5 etc... Remember, this only works if there are only two integers and they are consecutive.
