Question

An archery range calculated the average speed of wooden arrows shot during a competition. Which is the best representation of the average speed?

Answer 1

To find an average, add all the speeds of each arrow together and divide that number by the total number of arrows shot.

example:
Arrow 1:
20mph
Arrow 2:
23 mph
Arrow 3:
23 mph
= 20+23+23 = 66

66÷ 3= 22 mph on average

Answer 2

To find an average, add all the speeds of each arrow together and divide that number by the total number of arrows shot.

example:

Arrow 1:

20mph

Arrow 2:

23 mph

Arrow 3:

23 mph

= 20+23+23 = 66

66÷ 3= 22 mph on average

hope this helps
