What is the average distance for all segments of this trip

Respuesta :

The journey is broken down into five segment

Shop - first delivery = [tex]12 \frac{1}{3} [/tex] miles
First delivery - second delivery = [tex]8 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
Second delivery - third delivery = [tex]17 \frac{2}{8} [/tex]
Third delivery - fourth delivery = [tex]23 \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
Fourth delivery - shop = [tex]10 \frac{5}{10} [/tex]

The average distance for each segment are:
[tex][12 \frac{1}{3}+8 \frac{3}{4}+17 \frac{2}{8}+23 \frac{2}{3}+10 \frac{5}{10} ] [/tex]÷[tex]5[/tex]

[tex] \frac{145}{2} [/tex]÷5 = [tex] \frac{29}{2}=14 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
