Question

Over the past 7 days, Ms.Burge found that the temperature outside had dropped a total of 28 degrees. What is the average temperature per day?

Answer 1

Remember that the average or mean is the ratio between the sum of all numbers involve and the total number of items there.

In this case, the total is 28 degrees, and the total number of days is 7, we just have to divide.

`\bar{x}=(28)/(7)=4`

Therefore, the average temperature per day is 4 degrees.
