Answers
Answer:
Given,
Average height of 15 students of class 6 is 140 cm.
Average height of 10 students of class 7 is 145 cm.
To find,
The average height of the students of both the classes.
Solution,
(Sum of heights of all the students) / (Number of students) = Average
Let the sum of heights of all the students be x.
➞ x/15 = 140
➞ x = 140 × 15
➞ x = 2100

(Sum of heights of all the students) / (Number of students) = Average
Let the sum of heights of all the students be y.
➞ y/10 = 145
➞ y = 145 × 10
➞ y = 1450
___________________
Average height of students of both the classes, A = (x + y) / (15 + 10)
➞ A = (2100 + 1450) / 25
➞ A = 3550 / 25
➞ A = 142 cm
Therefore, the average height of students of both the classes is 142 cm.
