Question

You withdraw 260$ from your bank account in 5 trips to the ATM. what is the average change in your account balance for each trip? what integer represents the amount of money you withdraw? what integer represents the number of trips made to the ATM? do you need to multiply or divide?

Answer 1

To find the average over 5 times, we have to divide the total by 5. Therefore, 260/5 = 52 = the average change in your account balance each trips. 260 = amount of money you withdraw, 5 = number of trips made by the ATM. We need to divide due to that if something is spread out equally 5 times, what you get in one time clearly won't be all of it
