3 and 8 Average

3 and 8 average provides the comprehensive information about what is the average of 3 and 8, and how it is being calculated mathematically. To calculate the average, the given quantities 3 and 8 can be of any physical quantity but both should have been expressed in the same measurement units.

3 and 8 average:
= (3 + 8)/2,
= 11/2,
= 5.5

Hence,
the average of 3 and 8 is equal to 5.5

where,
3 and 8 physical quantities in same measurement units,
11 is the sum of quantities,
2 is the total number of quantities,
5.5 is the average of 3 and 8

The step-by-step work shows how to find what is the average of 3 and 8. The solution for 3 and 8 average is same for all the following queries but have to append the measurement units based on the measurement units of physical quantities being measured.

Solved Example:
what is the average of 3 and 8?

step 1 Address the input parameters and observe what to be found:
Input values:
Quantity A = 3
Quantity B = 8

What to be found:
Find the average of 3 and 8

step 2 Find the sum of quantities 3 and 8.
3 + 8 = 11

step 3 Find how many number of inputs:
The calculation involves two quantities 3 and 8, so the number of quantities is 2.

step 4 To find the average of 3 and 8, divide the sum of quantities 11 by the total number of quantities 2:
= 11/2
= 5.5
(3 + 8)/2 = 5.5

Hence,
5.5 is the average of 3 and 8.
