Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The mean of three numbers is 12. If one of the numbers is 8, what is the mean of the other two numbers? (2021)
  • Step 1: Understand that the mean (average) of three numbers is given as 12.
  • Step 2: To find the total of the three numbers, multiply the mean by the number of numbers: 3 * 12 = 36.
  • Step 3: One of the numbers is given as 8. To find the sum of the other two numbers, subtract 8 from the total: 36 - 8 = 28.
  • Step 4: Now, to find the mean of the other two numbers, divide their sum (28) by 2: 28 / 2 = 14.
