Calculate the Average: Finding the Mean of 8 and 0

Question

Calculate the average of 8 8 and 0 0 .

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll calculate the average of the two numbers provided, which are 8 and 0.

We approach this problem using the formula for the average of two numbers:

  • Average=a+b2 \text{Average} = \frac{a + b}{2}

where a=8a = 8 and b=0b = 0.

Let's perform the calculations:

  • Step 1: Add the two numbers: 8+0=88 + 0 = 8.
  • Step 2: Divide the sum by 2 to find the average: 82=4\frac{8}{2} = 4.

The average of 8 and 0 is 44.

Therefore, the correct answer to the problem is 4\textbf{4}, which corresponds to choice 3 in the provided answer choices.
