This may not be homework...but how do I go about using the live help for this site?

At this point, live help is not available. Computer glitches, you know.

So keep posting your questions on the message boards. Especially in the afternoons and evenings, there are usually several tutors online.

Certainly! I'd be happy to help you with averages.

To calculate an average, you'll need to add up all the values you have and then divide that total by the number of values. Here's a step-by-step process to calculate an average:

1. Start by gathering all the values you want to average. For example, if you have a set of test scores like 80, 90, and 85, you'll need those values.

2. Add up all the values. In this case, 80 + 90 + 85 = 255.

3. Count the number of values you added. In this case, there are 3 values.

4. Divide the sum of the values by the number of values. So, 255 ÷ 3 = 85.

So, the average of the test scores 80, 90, and 85 is 85.

If you have a different set of values or if you have any specific questions about averages, feel free to let me know and I'll be happy to assist you further!
