The answer is 12.36

To find the median, the first thing you want to do is put it in numerical order:

11.9, 12, 12.36, 12.5, 14

Now, you’re going to look for the middle number (12.36) if it is odd.

If it is even, you put it in numerical order and find the 2 in the middle. You then add them together, and divide them by 2.

Hope this helped!
