Question

isabella has found that she stays the most fit by running variouse dinstances and terrains through out the week. On mondays she runs 2.5 miles, on tuesdays 4.6 miles, on thursdays 6.75 miles, and on saturdays 4.8 miles. What is the  average distance isabella runs on each of the days that she runs? round to the nearest hunfreth of a mile

Answer 1

Well, to find an average, you must add together all numbers, and divide by the quantity of numbers you have, so for example, in this problem.

You must add 2.5 + 4.6 + 6.75 + 4.8, which will bring you to a total of 18.65

But we're not done just yet, we must follow through with the second and final step in finding the average distance that our friend Isabella runs throughout the week.

So now that you have the total distance, (18.65), we must divide by 4, now, why 4? When finding an average, you must add together the numbers, and divide by however numbers you may have.

So, in that case, 18.65 divided by 4 is 4.6625, with the help of long division.

Now, to round to the nearest hundredth, you must estimate every number after 4.66, which is essentially 25, which is 30, and now you have 4.663, now since you can't estimate any further, your answer is 4.663. Hope this helps!
