If I have an 83 average and I take a test that's 1/3 of my grade and get a 60 on it what would be my total average?

83*2/3 + 60*1/3 = 75.3

Find the rectangular prism

56 in2 [squared], height 6 in.

To calculate your total average after taking the test, you need to consider the weight of each component. In this case, the test is worth 1/3 of your total grade.

First, multiply your current average (83) by the weight of the other components, which is 2/3, since they make up the remaining portion of your grade.

(83 * 2/3) = 55.33

Next, calculate the weighted score of the test by multiplying your test score (60) with its weight, 1/3.

(60 * 1/3) = 20

Finally, sum up the two weighted scores to find your total average:

55.33 + 20 = 75.33

Therefore, your total average would be approximately 75.33.
