Question 53477
The average height of the two forwards and the center of a basketball team is 6 feet, 8 inches. What must the average height of the two gaurds be so that the team average is at least 6 feet, 4 inches?
--------
The two forwards and the center average 80 inches each.
Let the two guards average "x" inches.
[3(80)+2x]/5>=76
240+2x>=380
2x>=140
x>=70 inches
The average height of the two guards is >= 70 inches.
