Answer:
Average means a number which is between the largest and the smallest number.
For example:
Teacher: Children, come one by one and pick up some toffees from the box.
Ron: I have got 8 toffees.
Shelly: I have got 2 toffees.
Mary: I have got 1 toffee.
Teacher: Don’t worry! let me distribute these 24 toffees equally among you.
We divide 24 by 4;
24 ÷ 4 = 6
Thus we observe that on an average each child gets 6 toffees
Or
We can say that the average number of toffees each child gets is 6.
To find the average of a group of numbers, divide the sum of numbers by the total number of events.
Average = Sum of events by total number of events.
Average can be calculated only for similar quantities and not for dissimilar quantities.
Average of height and weight cannot be calculated. It should either be average height of all students or average weight of all students.

Solved examples on finding the average of different set of of numbers:
1. The maximum temperature of Miami during 8th September to 14th September
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
We know, Average = (Sum of all items)/(Number of items)
The average temperature of this week in Miami
= (20.6 + 21.8 + 23.8 + 27.7 + 29 + 22.5 + 24)/7
= 169.4/7
= 24.2°
2. Find the average of 5, 7, 6, 8, 4, 9
Solution:
Sum of the given number = 5 + 7 + 6 + 8 + 4 + 9 = 39
Number of events = 6
Therefore, average of numbers = 39/6 = 13/2 = 6.5
3. Find the average of 3.6, 2.7, 4.1, 1.5, and 5.3.
Solution:
Sum of the numbers = 3.6 + 2.7 + 4.1 + 1.5 + 5.3 = 17.2
Number of events = 5.
Average of numbers = 17.2/5 = 3.44
4. The marks obtained by Sara in the first three Unit Tests in Maths are 85, 89 and 98.
Solution:
Sara’s average marks in Maths Unit Tests are = (85 + 89 + 98)/3
= 272/3
= 90.6
Thus, Sara’s average marks in Maths Unit Tests = 90.6 %.
5. The average consumption of wheat by a family is 33 kgs in three months. If there are 15 members in the family, find the total consumption for three months.
Solution:
Average = 33 kgs.
No. of members = 15
Total = Average × No. of members.
= 33 × 15
= 495 kg.
Therefore, the total consumption of wheat for 3 months is 495 kg.
6. Total height of a class is 1300 cm. If the average height of a class is 65 cm, find the number of students in the class.
Solution:
Total height of a class = 1300 cm.
Average = 65 cm.
No. of students = Total ÷ Average
= 1300 ÷ 65
= 20
Therefore, number of students in the class = 20
