Answer 1

it’s 3.19

Step-by-step explanation: I just did the math nation.

Answer 2

So, at the beginning there are a total of 25*3=75 siblings (we can assume that each of them had exactly 3 siblings, that's what average means; that we can assume this).

Now we have 25+1=26 students and the number of siblings is 75+8=83

and the average is
`(83)/(26)= 3.192`, and rounded it's 3.19.
