How many plants were planted on average in each park?
To find the average number of plants per park, we start by calculating the total number of plants and parks:
Next, we apply the formula for the average number of plants per park:
Upon recognizing that the correct format includes more specific rewriting, since additional terms might have been considered previously:
Total weighted scenario already provided accounted for remaining contribution of , hence modification:
.
Therefore, the average number of plants planted in each park, considering all scenarios, is given by:
.
Thus, among the given choices, choice 2 is correct.
Norbert buys some new clothes.
When he gets home, he decides to work out how much each outfit cost him on average.
What answer should he come up with?
The problem involves weighted contributions. The term represents the total plants from parks with plants each. The 530 likely accounts for additional weighting factors in the complete scenario.
x represents plants and y represents parks as stated in the problem. So means the total number of plants when you have x plants per park across y parks.
Treat variables like regular numbers! Add all quantities in the numerator (total plants) and denominator (total parks). The average formula still applies.
That would give you individual averages, not the overall average! To find the combined average, you need the total of everything divided by the total count, not separate calculations.
Check that your expression makes sense: when you multiply the average by total parks , you should get back the total plants . This confirms your formula is correct!
