Answer:

B) 125

Explanation:

put them in order form greatest to least

150 145 145 130 125 120 120 120 115 cross out the two out side numbers till theres one number in the middle.

Extra : if its like this 1 2 3 4 5 6 there is no direct median so whats between 3 and 4 3.5 it helps me so i really hope it helps u!!

Median is middle. First put in increasing order: 115, 120, 120, 120, 125, 130, 145, 145, 150. Ok now find how many numbers are in total: 9 it’s odd. You have to find the middle of 9 which is 5. Count 5 in and you get B) 125
