a salesperson drove 238,259,87,163and 198 miles on a 5 day trip what was the mean number of miles driven per day? please
Add the 5 numbers together. Then divide by 5 to find the mean (average) number of miles she drove each day.
what is a mean
A mean is the average. To find the mean add the numbers together. Then divide.
For instance, to find the mean of 4, 8, and 9, you need to add those three numbers together and get 21. Divide 21 by 3 to get the mean -- 7.
To find the mean, you need to follow these steps:
1. Add all the numbers together: 238 + 259 + 87 + 163 + 198 = 945.
2. Divide the sum by the total number of numbers (in this case, 5): 945 / 5 = 189.
Therefore, the mean number of miles driven per day on the 5-day trip is 189 miles.
