find the average
2 1/3 3 3/4
I did the last one for you.
Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
To find the average of a set of numbers, you need to add up all the numbers and then divide the sum by the total number of numbers.
Let's find the average of the numbers given: 2 1/3 and 3 3/4.
First, we need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
2 1/3 can be written as 7/3 (multiply the whole number, 2, by the denominator, 3, and add the numerator, 1).
Similarly, 3 3/4 can be written as 15/4 (multiply the whole number, 3, by the denominator, 4, and add the numerator, 3).
Now, we can find the sum of the fractions:
7/3 + 15/4 = 28/12 + 45/12 = 73/12
To find the average, we divide the sum (73/12) by the total number of numbers (2), which is equivalent to dividing by 2.
So, the average is 73/12 divided by 2, which can be simplified to 73/24.
