If Bill wants to find the average of his family's heights. If his brother is 60 inches tall, his
sister is 58 inches tall, his mother 64 inches tall, and his father 72 inches tall, how tall
does Bill need to be to have an average family height of at least 62 inches?


Sagot :

Answer: 56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 60+58+64+72=254 (Add the average of his family without including him)

a. 62x5=310 (The average times 5, cause there are 5 of them will get you the total number of inches)

b. 310-254=56 (Subtract the total number of the 5 of them with the 4 of them to find Bill's height)

you can check your answer by adding all their heights.
