What happens when you get a remainder in your mean/ average, mathematically speaking?

Question

i need to know what happens if i get a remainder in my mean

example: 3divided by 10= 9R1 do i leave iot alone and call it the mean? or is there more to it. plz help, im going into 7th grade and my 6th grade teacher didnt do such a good job, i want to be prepared. thank you!

Answer 1

Getting a remainder in an average just means that the total isn't divisible by whatever you're dividing it by... I'm a teacher...

Say your grades are 70, 75, and 81 and I want to find your average. It would be 75.333333... or 75 r1 -- because 226 isn't divisible by 3.

Does that help?

Answer 3

means= you keep dividing and usually round to the nearest tenth

average= you usually shouldn't have remainders
