The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will find the average of five consecutive integers starting from \( m \) and the average of six consecutive integers starting from \( m \), and then subtract the two averages. ### Step 1: Identify the five consecutive integers starting from \( m \) The five consecutive integers starting from \( m \) are: - \( m \) - \( m + 1 \) - \( m + 2 \) - \( m + 3 \) - \( m + 4 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the average of the five consecutive integers To find the average, we sum these integers and divide by 5: \[ \text{Average of 5 integers} = \frac{m + (m + 1) + (m + 2) + (m + 3) + (m + 4)}{5} \] Calculating the sum: \[ = \frac{5m + (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4)}{5} = \frac{5m + 10}{5} = m + 2 \] ### Step 3: Identify the six consecutive integers starting from \( m \) The six consecutive integers starting from \( m \) are: - \( m \) - \( m + 1 \) - \( m + 2 \) - \( m + 3 \) - \( m + 4 \) - \( m + 5 \) ### Step 4: Calculate the average of the six consecutive integers To find the average, we sum these integers and divide by 6: \[ \text{Average of 6 integers} = \frac{m + (m + 1) + (m + 2) + (m + 3) + (m + 4) + (m + 5)}{6} \] Calculating the sum: \[ = \frac{6m + (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)}{6} = \frac{6m + 15}{6} = m + 2.5 \] ### Step 5: Subtract the average of the six integers from the average of the five integers Now we need to find: \[ \text{Result} = (m + 2) - (m + 2.5) \] Simplifying this: \[ = m + 2 - m - 2.5 = 2 - 2.5 = -0.5 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the result is: \[ \text{Result} = -\frac{1}{2} \] ---
