Answer:

8 family members. Average of 2.6 fish per person.

Explanation:

How many family members caught fish? Count only those members who caught at least 1 fish (that's all of them, because nobody caught 0 fish!).

3 + 1 + 0 + 4 = 8 family members.

Average number of fish caught per person. This is the total number of fish caught divided by the total number of people.

This is a little bit tricky because, for example, 4 people caught 4 fish, making 4 x 4 = 16 fish caught.

Multiply number of fish (column 1) by the number of people (column 2):

1 x 3 + 2 x 1 + 3 x 0 + 4 x 4 = 3 + 2 + 0 + 16 = 21 fish caught.

21 fish. 8 people. On average, that is 21 / 8 = 2.625 which rounds to 2.6 fish per person.

Hint: the word "per" means divide, so "fish per person" tells you to divide the total number of fish by the total number of people.

Good Luck!
