Respuesta :

Answer:

The average number of people per car is 2.91

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average number of people per car, we divide the total number of people by the total number of cars.

We have that:

57 cars had 4 people

61 cars had 2 people

9 cars had 1 person,

5 cars had 5 people.

Number of people:

57*4 + 61*2 + 9*1 + 5*5 = 384

Number of cars:

57 + 61 + 9 + 5 = 132

Average:

384/132 = 2.91

The average number of people per car is 2.91

Answer:

b. Find the total number of people and the total number of cars. Then,

divide the total people by the total cars.

People: 57 × 4 = 228

61 × 2 = 122

9 × 1 = 9

5 × 5 = 25

TOTAL 384 people

Cars: 57 + 61 + 9 + 5 = 132 cars

384 ÷ 132 = 2.9, which is rounded up to 3 people because 2.9 is closer to

3 than it is to 2
