@debbie_27 You there ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
add them together
2 1/8 + 4 + 1 3/4 + 3 5/8 =?
Then divide by the number of terms, in this case, divide by 4

@debbie_27 just add all the fractions and divided it by no. of total fractions.
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):
i.e (21/8+4/1+13/4+35/8)/4
OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

Add them all up either by taking the denominator common or converting them into decimals.
Then divide that sum by the number of elements you have, which I think 4.
