For the past month, Ms. Smith recorded the number of days she went to work each week and the number of gas stations she drove by during those days. How many gas stations does she drive by each day?
number of days; 3, 6, 7,
number of gas stations; 12, 24, 28
Ms. Smith drives by ___ gas stations each day.
To find the average number of gas stations Ms. Smith drives by each day, we need to add up the total number of gas stations she drove by for the month and divide by the total number of days she worked.
Total number of gas stations = 12 + 24 + 28 = 64
Total number of days = 3 + 6 + 7 = 16
Average number of gas stations she drives by each day = 64 / 16 = 4
Ms. Smith drives by 4 gas stations each day.
