Question

how do I get the average of two numbers when one has more than the other
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\ The \ average \ of \ two \ numbers\ =\frac{\text{the sum of the two numbers} }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\large\ The \ average \ of \ two \ numbers\ =\frac{\text{the sum of the two numbers} }{2}$

Let x and y be two numbers then the average of x and y is :

$\large \frac{x+y}{2}$

Example :

The average of 4 and 16 is :

$\frac{4+16}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10$
