Question

Randy grows cherries to sell at local stores. All of the cherries he will sell are in the four boxes shown. Randy wants to send an equal number of pounds of cherries to 4 stores. Enter a fraction that shows how many pounds of cherries each store will receive. Enter your answer as a mixed number

Answer 1

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the 4 boxes are not given.

However, the general explanation is as follows;

From the question, we understand that Randy wants to send an equal amount to 4 different stores

This implies that, we calculate the average (mean) of the 4 boxes.

This is calculated as:

`Mean = (\sum x)/(n)`

Assume that the number of cherry in the 4 boxes are: 25, 23, 28 and 27

The formula becomes

`Mean = (25 + 23 + 28 + 27)/(4)`

`Mean = (103)/(4)`

This implies that Randy will send 103/4 to each of the 4 stores.

The answer as a mixed number is:

`Mean = 25(3)/(4)`
