Question

Can someone please help me with this question?

Answer 1

So what I would do is first multiply the mean by 4 and that is the total u need, 146.5, to have a mean of 36 and 5/8. Next I add the lengths given, which is 110.625, and then I would subtract it from 146.5 which is 35.875 which is 35 and 7/8. You can also check the answer by finding the mean of the 4 numbers and determining if it comes out to 36 and 5/8. The answer is C. Hope this helps!
