Algebra.Com's Answer #269989 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! For the average to be 5 hours, there need to be 25 hours throughout the five days (since 25/5 = 5). Since the first four days are 4, 6, 3, 6 hours their total is 19 hours, and Friday's school day must be 6 hours to make a total of 25. \n" ); document.write( " |
