Question

Michael bikes 36 miles last week and 38.4 miles this week. What is the average distance he bikes?

Answer 1

(36+38.4)/2=?

Answer 2

Remember that whenever you are asked to find the average of the numbers, you want to make sure that you add the total of the give numbers. Then you divide the sum by the amount of integers there are.

In this example, we will have to deal with first adding36+38.4. The sum will then be divided by 2 because there are two integers that were adding.
