minus-squaresomeguy3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up62arrow-down6·1 year agoThat seems complicated. Average is (100+1)÷2= 50.5 50.5 average x 100 numbers = 5050.
minus-squareagamemnonymous@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up71arrow-down1·1 year agoYou did essentially the exact same thing in a different order. (100+1)÷2 × 100 (100+1)x100 ÷ 2

minus-squareLwL@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThough sadly ime that is what teachers usually completely fail to convey. And then we wonder why so many people hate math.
minus-squareVent@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoI think you’d need to prove that the average is (100+1)/2 because that’s not an axiom.
That seems complicated.
Average is (100+1)÷2= 50.5
50.5 average x 100 numbers = 5050.
You did essentially the exact same thing in a different order.
(100+1)÷2 × 100
(100+1)x100 ÷ 2
Clever though
