Question

During the first 3 days of the week, Mike read an average of 28 pages per day. During the next 4 days, Mike averaged 42 pages per day. For the whole week, Mike read an average of how many pages per day?

Answer 1

36 pages per day on average

Explanation:

Calculate the average.

3 * 28 (The first 3 days of the week where Mike reads 28 pages per day) = 84

4 * 42 (The next 4 days where Mike reads 42 pages per day ) = 168

168 + 84 = 252

To find the average using this total, divide it by the total amount of days of reading (seven days in this problem).

252 / 7 = 36
