What is the average of odd numbers from 1 to 79? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of odd numbers from 1 to 79.
To find the average of the odd numbers from 1 to 79, we first calculate how many odd numbers there are from 1 to 79. Then, we calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 79. And finally, we divide the sum by the number of odd numbers to get the average.
The range is from 1 to 79, and the odd numbers within that range are from 1 to 79. Therefore, the first odd number in the sequence is 1, and the last odd number in the sequence is 79.
Step 1) Calculate the total number of odd numbers from 1 to 79
Here we calculate the total number of odd numbers from 1 to 79 by entering the first and last odd number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
tot = (last - first + 2) ÷ 2
tot = (79 - 1 + 2) ÷ 2
tot = 80 ÷ 2
tot = 40
Total odd numbers from 1 to 79 = 40
Step 2) Calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 79
To calculate the sum of odd numbers from 1 to 79, you enter the total odd numbers (tot) from Step 1 and the first odd number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
sum = (tot ÷ 2) × (2 × first + (2 × (tot - 1))
sum = (40 ÷ 2) × (2 × 1 + (2 × (40 - 1))
sum = 20 × (2 + 78)
sum = 20 × 80
sum = 1600
Sum of odd numbers from 1 to 79 = 1600
Step 3) Calculate the average of odd numbers from 1 to 79
Almost done! Now we can calculate the average of odd numbers from 1 to 79 by dividing the sum of odd numbers from Step 2 by the total odd numbers from Step 1. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
Average = sum ÷ tot
Average = 1600 ÷ 40
Average = 40
Average of odd numbers from 1 to 79 = 40
