Answer 6

Do you know how to find average?

Answer 7

To find the basic average, of a group of numbers, all you have to do is add them all up and divide the result by the amount of numbers in the set

Answer 8

for example... let say you have the number 1,2,3,4

Answer 9

you would have to add them up
1+2+3+4 = 10

Answer 10

and because we had to add up 4 numbers, we have to divide 10 by 4.

Answer 11

I'm confused

Answer 12

Which means the average between the number 1,2,3,4 is 2.5

Answer 13

here, ill give you a set of numbers : 50,28,19,11

Answer 14

add them all up.
