Question

Donna is participating in a 6-day cross-country biking challenge. She biked for 51, 62, 61, 47, and 63 miles on the first five days. How many miles does she need to bike on the last day so that her average (mean) is 56 miles per day?

Answer 1

52 miles

Explanation:

total miles needed to average 56

56 * 6 = 336

miles after 5 days

51 + 62 + 61 + 47 + 63 = 284

miles needed on last day

336 - 284 = 52 miles
