Question

You own Everything's Coming Up Roses flower shop. Your employee makes 4 deliveries per hour. The distance between the shop and the first delivery is 12 1/3 miles. The distance between the next three deliveries is 8 3/4 miles; 17 2/8 miles; and 23 2/3 miles respectively. The distance from the final delivery to the shop is 10 5/10 miles. What is the average distance for all segments of this trip?

Answer 1

After adding all the segments of each and every trip we have a total amount of 72.5 miles. To get the average distance for all 5 trips we simply divide 72.5 into 5 equal parts. The final answer would amount to 14.5 miles. Final answer must be expressed as "the average distance for all segments of this trip would be 14 and a half mile per segment".
