Answer 1

c.27

Explanation:

You have to add 46,15, and 19 together which gets you 80. Then you divide it by 3 and you get 26.(something) since its a decimal, you need a whole number. You round to 27 because its the closest. (When finding the mean, you must add the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are (3))

Answer 2

C. 27 pages

Explanation:

First, add all of the numbers together

15+19+46

That would be 80.

Then, once you have the numbers added, divide the number you by how many numbers there are.

80 divided by 3 = 26.7 (rounded)

Now that you have the answer 26.7, that tells you that the answer is 27 pages.
