Vicki puts 10 books on a shelf. The 10 books take up 28 cm. What is the mean (average) thickness of her books?

To find the mean thickness, divide the total thickness by the number of books:

Mean thickness = Total thickness / Number of books

Mean thickness = 28 cm / 10 books = 2.8 cm

The mean (average) thickness of her books is 2.8 cm.

Answer (3)

Average thickness of book = Total thickness/mo. of books = 28 cm/ 10 = 2.8 cm Thus, on average, each book has 2.8 cm thickness.

If the ten books are 28cm thick then the average thickness is 28 (the total thickness) divided by 10 (the number of books).
28cm divided by 10 is 2.8cm.
So the average thickness is 2.8cm!

The mean thickness of Vicki's books is calculated by dividing the total thickness (28 cm) by the number of books (10), resulting in an average thickness of 2.8 cm. This showcases a basic mathematical method for computing averages. Understanding how to find the mean is an important skill relevant in many areas of study.
