Consumption of what? Are all the values in cubic meters? What specifically is your question?
I don't know the answer
Without knowing what consumption is being referred to in the question, it is not possible to provide an accurate answer. Please provide additional information or clarification for the question.
Well, it looks like we need to find the average monthly consumption in cubic meters. Let's break it down!
To calculate the average monthly consumption, we need to find the difference between the initial reading and the final reading for each month. Then we sum up all the differences and divide by the number of months.
Let's take a look:
Initial Reading: 80,100
1st Month: 100,528
Difference for 1st Month: 100,528 - 80,100 = 20,428
2nd Month: 105,687
Difference for 2nd Month: 105,687 - 100,528 = 5,159
Now, let's calculate the average:
(20,428 + 5,159) / 2 = 25,587 / 2 = 12,793.5
So, the average monthly consumption is approximately 12,793.5 cubic meters.
Therefore, the answer is option C, 12,793.5.

To solve for the average monthly consumption in cubic meters, you need to calculate the difference between the final reading and the initial reading for each month, and then take the average of these differences.
First, let's calculate the consumption for each month:
- For the 1st Month: Consumption = Final Reading - Initial Reading = 100,528 - 80,100 = 20,428
- For the 2nd Month: Consumption = Final Reading - Initial Reading = 105,687 - 80,100 = 25,587
Now, let's calculate the average consumption:
- Average Consumption = (Consumption for 1st Month + Consumption for 2nd Month) / 2
= (20,428 + 25,587) / 2
= 45,015 / 2
= 22,507.5
Therefore, the average monthly consumption in cubic meters is 22,507.5.
Comparing this to the given options:
A. 25,587 - This is the consumption for the 2nd Month, not the average.
B. 20,428 - This is the consumption for the 1st Month, not the average.
C. 12,793.5 - This is not the correct answer as we calculated the average as 22,507.5, not 12,793.5.
D. 5,159 - This is not the correct answer as we calculated the average as 22,507.5, not 5,159.
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the given options.
