Question

Find the average of the numbers 647

, 1556
, 917
, and 358
. Write the solution as a mixed number or a fraction in lowest terms

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:To find the average of these numbers, you add them up and then divide by the total count of numbers.

Average = (647 + 1556 + 917 + 358) / 4

Now, calculate the sum:

Average = (3478) / 4

To simplify this fraction to lowest terms, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

Average = (3478 ÷ 2) / (4 ÷ 2)

Average = 1739 / 2

So, the average of the numbers is 1739/2, which can also be expressed as a mixed number:

Average = 869.5
