Question

How do I get the average of two numbers when one has more than the other
​

Answer 1

`\large\ The \ average \ of \ two \ numbers\ =\frac{\text{the sum of the two numbers} }{2}`

Explanation:

`\large\ The \ average \ of \ two \ numbers\ =\frac{\text{the sum of the two numbers} }{2}`

Let x and y be two numbers then the average of x and y is :

`\large (x+y)/(2)`

Example :

The average of 4 and 16 is :

`(4+16)/(2) = (20)/(2) = 10`
