Answer: just to make it clear for people
it is 50.7

Answer 2

Ok, you should first order every number in the regular order (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,and so on) or (1.2,1.3,2.4,5.9).

43.2, 43.4, 47.9, 49.2, 49.6, 49.7, 50.1, 50.7, 51.2, 53.9, 55.1, 57.4, 58.8, 60.7, 61.1.

Median means the exact middle and here there are total of 15 different numbers so we know this is going to be easier if this was even. 50.7 is the median because it is in the middle and there are an even number of numbers on each side to it, 7.
