Read Solution (Total 9)
-
average =888/6 = 444/3 =148- 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(66) No(2)
- Let the first number be x,(x+2),(x+4),(x+6),(x+8),(x+10)
so, 6X+30=888
which gives 6x=858
x=143
the six numbers are 143,145,147,149,151,153
143+145+147+149+151+153=888
888/6=148 is the answer - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(25) No(9)
- For calculating, average of 6 nos, sum of 6 nos is sufficient.
There is no need to waste time to find the numbers.
so I think, Nishant is right. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(16) No(2)
- average=sum of no/total no.
as given sum=888 and total no=6
therefore avg=888/6=148 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
- Average= Sum of entries/ number of entries
so, for above case, average=888/6=148 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- average 888/6 = 148
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Average of numbers = Sum/6
Average = 888/6 = 148 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 148
avg= sum/total number - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 148.
888/6=148 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
