60/5=12
The reason this works is because 1/5 of 60 is when 60 is split into 5 equally sized parts and you take just 1 of them. If you divide 60 by 5, you get the number of times that 5 goes into 60. That means that the answer, which is 12, multiplied by 5=60. Because 12 goes in to 60 exactly 5 times, 12 is one of those 5 equal parts that make up 60, so is 1/5 of 60. I know this is a bad explanation, but I hope it helped.

What is the average (arithmetic mean) of the first 90 measurements in a certain list of 92 measurements? (1) the average of the

marishachu [46]

The sum of all the measurements is just the average times the number.

$\bar x = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n x_i$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = n \bar x$

So if the average of all 92 is 7 the sum of those is $92 \times 7$

The average of the last two is 7.2 so their sum is $2 \times 7.2$

That means the sum of the first 90 is $92 \times 7 - 2 \times 7.2$

so the average of the first 90 is

$\dfrac{92 \times 7 - 2 \times 7.2}{90} = 6.99556$ cm
