The correct Answer is:
To find the average number of hours Ashu studied in a week, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the data We have the following data for the number of hours Ashu studied each day: - Monday: 4 hours - Tuesday: 4.5 hours (which is `4(1)/(2)`) - Wednesday: 5 hours - Thursday: 3.5 hours (which is `3(1)/(2)`) - Friday: 4 hours - Saturday: 6 hours ### Step 2: Convert mixed numbers to decimal We already have the data in decimal form: - Monday: 4 hours - Tuesday: 4.5 hours - Wednesday: 5 hours - Thursday: 3.5 hours - Friday: 4 hours - Saturday: 6 hours ### Step 3: Sum the total hours studied Now we will add all the hours together: \[ 4 + 4.5 + 5 + 3.5 + 4 + 6 \] Calculating step by step: - \(4 + 4.5 = 8.5\) - \(8.5 + 5 = 13.5\) - \(13.5 + 3.5 = 17\) - \(17 + 4 = 21\) - \(21 + 6 = 27\) So, the total hours studied in the week is \(27\) hours. ### Step 4: Count the number of days The number of days Ashu studied is \(6\) (from Monday to Saturday). ### Step 5: Calculate the average To find the average, we divide the total hours by the number of days: \[ \text{Average} = \frac{\text{Total Hours}}{\text{Number of Days}} = \frac{27}{6} \] Calculating the division: - \(27 \div 6 = 4.5\) ### Final Answer The average number of hours Ashu studied in a day during that week is \(4.5\) hours. ---
