Average Values

To get an average of two or more quantities divide the sum of these quantities by the total number of the quantities.

 Example:
    A three-sided figure has sides 6cm, 3cm and 6cm.
    What is the average length per side of the figure?
Answer:  Add all three sides: 6cm + 3cm +6cm = 15cm.
               Divide by the number of sides: 15cm : 3 = 5cm.
               The average length per side is 5 cm.
