Problem 1

Mary’s top book shelf holds five books with the following widths, in centimeters: $6$, $\dfrac{1}{2}$, $1$, $2.5$, and $10$. What is the average book width, in centimeters?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 1 \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ 2 \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ 3 \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ 4 \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ 5$

Solution

To find the average, we add up the widths $6$, $\dfrac{1}{2}$, $1$, $2.5$, and $10$, to get a total sum of $20$. Since there are $5$ books, the average book width is $\frac{20}{5}=4$ The answer is $\boxed{D}$.
