Show your calculations: The average of 16, 22, 24, 18, and 21.

To find the average of these numbers, you add them all together and then divide by the total number of values.

16 + 22 + 24 + 18 + 21 = 101

Now, divide the sum by the total number of values:

101 / 5 = 20.2

Therefore, the average of 16, 22, 24, 18, and 21 is 20.2.

1. Add all the numbers together:

16 + 22 + 24 + 18 + 21 = 101

2. Divide the sum by the number of numbers (the count):

101 ÷ 5 = 20.2

Therefore, the average of the numbers is 20.2.
