Answer:

Explanation:

the "mean" just means the "average"

So if the average of four numbers = 2.6

To find the total of the four numbers, you would multiply 2.6 by 4.

2.6 x 4 = 10.4

One of the four numbers is 5. (given in the question)

This means that the total of the remaining three numbers is:

10.4 - 5 = 5.4

Then divide 5.4 by 3 to find the average of the 3 numbers.

Mean of the other 3 numbers =
(5.4)/(3) = ?
