Question

During a track meet , Kelly throws the shotput 36 feet ,35 feet and 37 feet write and expression that represents the length of his average throw in feet

Answer 1

If we call the average A, then (35+36+37)/3 is the way to compute it.

Answer 2

How many throws did Kelly have? She had three throws. Now, let's find the sum of his three throws. 

 

36 + 35 + 37 = 108

 

Now, to find the average we divide the sum of the three throws by the number throws. If we let A =  the average, we have:

 

A = 108/3 

 

Kelly's average throw in feet is 36 ft.
