Question

HELP! What’s the average of 279 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: 56 minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

The time values given, in minutes, are:

25, 55, 60, 94, and 46

going from monday to friday in that exact order

Add up the values, then divide by 5. This is because there are 5 values

So adding up the values gets us: 25+55+60+94+46 = 280

Then dividing by 5 leads to this answer: 280/5 = 56

note: you must convert the "1 hour" to "60 minutes" because each time value must be in the same units. Otherwise, its like mixing apples and oranges which makes no sense.
