find the average
1/3 ,3/8 ,1/24
1/3 + 3/8 + 1/24
Find the LCD. In this case, LCD = 24
8/24 + 9/24 + 1/24 = ?
Take the sum and divide by 3 for the average.
18/8
8/24 + 9/24 + 1/24 = 18/24 = 3/4
(3/4)/3 = 3/4 * 1/3 = 3/12 = 1/4
Average = 1/4
To find the average, you need to add up all the numbers and then divide the sum by the total count of numbers.
In this case, we have three numbers: 1/3, 3/8, and 1/24.
To find the sum, add the three numbers together:
1/3 + 3/8 + 1/24 = (8/24) + (9/24) + (1/24) = 18/24
Now, to find the average, divide the sum by the total count of numbers (which is 3 in this case):
(18/24) ÷ 3 = 18/24 × 1/3 = (18 ÷ 3) / 24 = 6/24
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
6/24 = 1/4
Therefore, the average of the numbers 1/3, 3/8, and 1/24 is 1/4.
