a store manager timed janette to see how long it would take her to fold and put away a sweater, a shirt,a pair of pants, and a scarf. it took her 26.1 seconds for the shirt, 24.3 seconds for the sweater , 32.8 seconds for the pants, and 18.2 seconds for the scart. what was the average time it took janette to fold and put away all four items?
Given:
Item time
shirt 26.1 seconds
sweater 24.3 seconds
pants 32.8 seconds
scarf 18.2 seconds
Add up all the time in seconds:
26.1 + 24.3 + 32.8 + 18.2 = 101.4
divide the sum by the 4 items:
101.4 / 4 = 25.35 seconds
The average time Janette took to fold and put away all 4 items is 25.35 seconds.
