Question

students were grouped into 4 classrooms with an average of 33.5 students per classroom. if the students were regrouped into 5 classrooms, what would be the average number of students in each room?

Answer 1

Answer:

26.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 33.5 was the average of how many students were in a classroom (if there were 4 classrooms), then 33.5 is can somewhat be the average of how many students were in one classroom; 1/4 of the classrooms can hold an average of 33.5.

Total students that were divided into 4 classrooms :

33.5 × 4 = 134

So if there is 134 students that will be grouped into 5 different classrooms, divide 134 by 5 to find the average amount of students that will be grouped.

134 ÷ 5 = 26.8

So, the average amount of students that will be grouped if they were divided into 5 classrooms would be 26.8 .

Hope this helped !
