Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We translate the phrase into an equation:

Then we simplify:

Lets say your numbers are these...
10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90 and 100
you would add those to get 650
Now how many numbers did you add?
You added 10
so now divided
650 by 10
you get 65
that is the mean of those numbers!
Let the numbers be x,y, and z
x+y+z=6
x< 1
The answer may vary which are 3.3, 2.2 and.5.
