to get the mean all you have to is add all the numbers up then divide by how numbers there are. so 3e is what u get when u add them up then divide by 12 and u get 2.75
You would write it as 17/3 because you times 3 by 5 and get 15 and then you add the 2 to get 17 and you leave the 3 underneath the 17 so you final answer is 17/3 and that is a improper fraction
