Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will calculate the average of the numbers 0, 0, and 8.

We follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Add the numbers together:

The sum of 0+0+80 + 0 + 8 is 88.

  • Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of terms:

There are 3 numbers, so we divide the sum by 3:
83\frac{8}{3}

This results in the fraction 83\frac{8}{3}, which is equivalent to the mixed number 2232\frac{2}{3}.

Therefore, the average of the numbers 0, 0, and 8 is 2232\frac{2}{3}.

Answer

223 2\frac{2}{3}
