Answer:
1 3/8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Length after adding 2 meteors of equal length = 16 inches
Let the length of the added meteor = x
To obtain the total length, we sum of each meteror multiplied by its frequency is obtained ;
(2/8)(1)+(3/8)(3)+(4/8)(2)+(6/8)(2)+(10/8)(1)+(11/8)(2)+(14/8)(2)+(15/8)(1) + 2x = 16
13.25 + 2x = 16
13.25 + 2x = 16
2x = 16 - 13.25
2x = 2.75
x = 1.375
1.375 = 1 3/8
