The **average** is a way to find the middle or typical value of a set of numbers. To find the average, you add up all the numbers, and then divide by how many numbers there are. Here's the formula:
Average = (Sum of all numbers) ÷ (Number of numbers)
Let’s say you took five tests. Your scores are: 85, 90, 78, 88, and 92. To find the average score:
85 + 90 + 78 + 88 + 92 = 433
Then, divide by the number of tests (5):
433 ÷ 5 = 86.6
So, your average score is **86.6**. This tells you how well you did overall.
Imagine you spent the following amounts over five months: $2000, $2500, $2200, $2400, and $2300. To calculate the average amount you spent:
$2000 + $2500 + $2200 + $2400 + $2300 = $11400
Now, divide by the number of months (5):
$11400 ÷ 5 = $2280
Your average monthly spending is **$2280**.
If you drove at 60 km/h for 3 hours, 80 km/h for 2 hours, and 100 km/h for 1 hour, here’s how you find the average speed for your whole trip:
First, calculate the total distance you traveled:
Distance 1 = 60 km/h × 3 hours = 180 km
Distance 2 = 80 km/h × 2 hours = 160 km
Distance 3 = 100 km/h × 1 hour = 100 km
Total Distance = 180 km + 160 km + 100 km = 440 km
Now, divide the total distance by the total time (6 hours):
440 km ÷ 6 hours = 73.33 km/h
So, your average speed is **73.33 km/h**.
As you can see, the average helps us understand a general idea of what is typical in a group of numbers. It’s a simple way to get an idea of the middle value.
