Question

In one of the laboratory activities, the distance traveled by a toy car was measured five times. The

distances measured in the first four trials are 1.50 m, 1.75 m, 1.30 m, and 1.50 m. If the average

distance is 1.48 m, what is the distance traveled by the car in the fifth trial?

Answer 1

$$1.5+1.75+1.3+1.5+x=5(1.48)\\x=1.35\ m$$
