Question

Rice consumed in a school under the mid-day meal program for 5 consecutive days is 15.750 kg, 14.850 kg, 16.500 kg, 14.700 kg, and 17.700 kg. Find the average rice consumption for the 5 days.

Answer 1

$\Rightarrow$ Rice consumed in a school for $5$ consecutive days is $15.750kg,14.850kg,16.500kg,14.700kg,17.700kg$

$\Rightarrow$ Required average $=\frac{Totalriceconsumptionin5days}{5}$

$=\frac{15.750+14.850+16.500+14.700+17.700}{5}$

$=\frac{79.500}{5}=15.900kg$

$\therefore$ The average rice consumption for $5$ days are $15.900kg$
