Describe the steps you can use to find an average of fractional amounts

Average of number is equal to sum of numbers by total no.

i.e.,

Now when numbers/amounts are fraction then there is one extra step which is to add the fractions.

Lets say we have to find average of 2 fractions i.e.,

Step 1 : First to add the fractions find the LCM of denominator as There are unlike fractions

3 = 1 × 3

4 = 1 × 4

LCM of 3 and 4 = 3 × 4 = 12

Step 2: To make them like fraction we find equivalent fraction of each fraction whose denominator equal to 12

Step 3: Adding both fractions

Step 4: put these value in average formula

Step 5: Now we divide by 2 using fraction division .i.e., multiply the reciprocal of divisor with dividend

here 2 is divisor

Reciprocal =

Following these steps Average of fractional amount of any no can be found.
