Explanation:

For the average height of fhe boys:


(5.4ft + 6.12ft + 7.02ft + 4.9ft + 6.25ft)/(5) \\ = 5.938 \: ft

In solving for the average height, we used addition and division operations.

Wll not just this question, but whenever you need to find average, you have to:

Wait, for example let's take ur question:

1st step we will add up all the values aka heights:

5.4+6.12+7.02+4.9+6.25=29.69

And then how many values did you take???

Its, 5 values

1st value= 5.4

2nd value=6.12

aaand so on....

However, then we will have to divide the sum by no.of values

29.69÷5=5.938

Aaand this is your FINAL ANSWER

Done!!!!

Hope I helped you!!!
