Question

A store manager timed how long it took to find your phone and put away a sweater, shirt, a pair of pants, and a scarf. It took her 26.1 seconds for the phone, 24.3 seconds with the sweater, 32.8 seconds for the pants, and 18.2 seconds for the scarf. What was the average time it took her to find your phone and put away the items?

Answer 1

The average time it took to find the phone and put away the items was 25.35 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average time it took to find the phone and put away the items, we need to find the mean of the individual times. We add up the times for the phone, sweater, pants, and scarf, and then divide by the number of items (4) to find the average. In this case, the average time is (26.1 + 24.3 + 32.8 + 18.2) / 4 = 25.35 seconds.
