Question

A store manager timed Janette to see how long it would take her to fold and put away a sweater, a shirt, a pair of pants, and a scarf. It took her 26.1 seconds for the shirt, 24.3 seconds for the sweater, 32.8 seconds for the pants, and 18.2 seconds for the scarf. What was the average time it took Janette to fold and put away all four items?

Answer 1

If you would like to know what was the average time it took Janette to fold and put away all four items, you can calculate this using the following steps:

26.1 seconds for the shirt + 24.3 seconds for the sweater + 32.8 seconds for the pants + 18.2 seconds for the scarf = 26.1 + 24.3 + 32.8 + 18.2 = 101.4 seconds

101.4 seconds / 4 items = 25.35 seconds

The average time was 25.35 seconds.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 25.4 seconds
