Noel caught 3 fish from lake. The lengths of the three fish in inches are 10 1/3, 5 8/9, and 10 1/4. What is the average length of the three fish?
---------------
[(10 + 5 + 10)+(1/3 + 8/9 + 1/4)]/3
-------------------------------------
= [(25)+(12+32+9)/36]/3
----
= [25+(53/36)]3
----
= [25+1.472]/3
-----
= 8.824 inches
-------------
