Question 1157707: janice hiked a total of 121 miles in 11 days. Each day she hiked one more mile than the previous day. For the 11 days that she hiked, what is the median number of miles in a day that she hiked?

The numbers of days form an arithmetic sequence of 11 terms with a sum of 121.
In any such sequence, the median and mean are the same.
The mean is 121/11; so the median is also 11.
