Answer:

? = 1

Explanation:

You are trying to mind the MEDIAN of the given expression.

The MEDIAN is the middle number of a set of given values.

1. Arrange the terms in ascending order.

= 0.1 , 0.4 , 1.6 , 2.5

2. The median is the middle term in the arranged data set. In the case of an even number of terms, the median is the average of the two middle terms.

= (0.4 + 1.6)/2

Write as a fraction where (0.4 + 1.6) is the NUMERATOR & 2 is the DENOMINATOR. Include parentheses.

3. Remove parentheses.

= 0.4 + 1.6/2

Write as a fraction where 0.4 + 1.6 is the NUMERATOR & 2 is the DENOMINATOR.

4. Add 0.4 and 1.6.

= 2/2

5. Divide 2 by 2.

= 1

6. Convert the median 1 to decimal.

= 1
