The mean average of three numbers is 8. Two of the numbers are 11 and 7. What is the third number?
- A.
6
- B.

- C.
8
Correct Answer
A. 6Explanation
Since the mean average of three numbers is 8, we can find the sum of the three numbers by multiplying the average by the total number of numbers. So, 8 multiplied by 3 is 24. We know that two of the numbers are 11 and 7, which sum up to 18. To find the third number, we subtract 18 from 24, resulting in 6. Therefore, the third number is 6.Rate this question:
