What is the average of the integers from 7 to 9? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of the integers from 7 to 9.
To calculate the average of any set of numbers, you divide the sum of the numbers by the total numbers in the set (Sum/Total).
Therefore, to calculate the average of the integers from 7 to 9, we need to divide the sum of the integers from 7 and 9 by the total number of integers from 7 to 9. Here are step-by-step instructions:
Step 1) Calculate Sum of Numbers
First, we calculate the sum of all the integers (whole numbers) from 7 to 9 by using a formula where a is the low number of 7 and b is the high number of 9:
Sum = ((b - a + 1) ÷ 2) × (a + b)
Sum = ((9 - 7 + 1) ÷ 2) × (7 + 9)
Sum = (3 ÷ 2) × (16)
Sum = 1.5 × 16
Sum of Numbers = 24
Step 2) Calculate Total Number
Next, we calculate the total number of integers from 7 to 9. To calculate the total number of integers, we calculate the difference between 7 and 9 and then add 1. Here is the formula and the math. Once again, a is the low number of 7 and b is the high number of 9:
Total = b - a + 1
Total = 9 - 7 + 1
Total Number = 3
Step 3) Calculate the Average
Now we have both pieces needed to calculate the average of the integers from 7 to 9. We calculate the average of the integers by dividing the Sum of Numbers from Step 1 by the Total Number from Step 2. Here is the math and the answer:
Average = Sum of Numbers ÷ Total Number
Average = 24 ÷ 3
Average = 8
