What is the means-to-MAD ratio of the two data sets, expressed as a decimal to the nearest tenth?

Data Set 1: {85, 83, 90, 70, 87}
Data Set 2: {75, 74, 68, 83, 80}

This question is absolutely ridiculous, as it doesn't tell me what to place after I conclude the MAD/mean ratio for both. I doesn't tell me what to do afterward, like find the average or something. Could someone help me? I calculated the average, and it turned up 16.7 when rounded. Is that what I need to do?

Doesn't matter. The answer was 1.3. Cause that makes sense...
