How to find the average
To find the average, also known as the mean:
1. Add up all of the numbers you want to find the average of.
2. Count how many numbers you added together.
3. Divide the sum by the count.
For example, to find the average of 2, 4, 6, and 8:
1. 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 20
2. There are 4 numbers.
3. 20 ÷ 4 = 5
Therefore, the average of 2, 4, 6, and 8 is 5.
To find the average, follow these steps:
1. Gather the set of numbers you want to find the average of.
2. Add up all the numbers in the set.
3. Count how many numbers are in the set.
4. Divide the sum of the numbers by the count of the numbers.
Here is the formula for finding the average:
Average = Sum of numbers / Count of numbers
For example, let's find the average of the numbers 5, 10, 15, and 20:
1. Sum of the numbers: 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 = 50
2. Count of the numbers: 4
3. Average = 50 / 4 = 12.5
So, the average of the numbers 5, 10, 15, and 20 is 12.5.
