2.
There are 154 patients in a
hospital and 22 rooms are
available in the hospital. Find
the average number of patients
in each room.​

Answer 1

1 . Avg fruits in each basket=total no.of fruits/total no of basket ,

then ,

$= \frac{36 + 59 + 34 + 33 + 44}{5} \\ = \frac{206}{5} \\ = 41.2$

u can also say it 41 if we cant divide fruits in 1/5 fraction

2.avg patients= total no.of patients/total rooms

$= \frac{154}{22} = 7$

=7 patients in each room
