Thanks for the help. "It doesn't really apply to the example you gave", i'm sorry but I disagree with you. I'm using aptitude software which wants me to find the average by the method stated in the example in my head. I also can't round up or down. I'll try the what has been said. Thanks!

Hi, I was wondering if someone can give tell me some tops or tricks to calculating averages in ones head.
For eg
Average of 61 and 18 = (61+18)/2 = 79/2 = 39.5

Hi Mariner;
Isn't the answer good enough. Using your own brain, which answer do you like?
my apologies:)

Hi Mariner;
I hoped that you would understand that post. I think you did. Last thing in my heart was to be nasty. Now, what is it that you exactly do not understand. This will help in someone solving your problem. Remember I had difficulties so you may have to wait a bit.
I don't understand what it wants me to write for a written explanation.

Hi Mariner;
please help me do this, I drag at math
just what the question says please, i didn't write them.
Welcome to the forum. I don't agree with the above statements on these grounds. Math is not a spectator sport. I love working on problems and getting them right. I love working on problems and getting them wrong. Because then you get better. That is how you get better. You see there is no down side here. Getting em wrong or getting em right you win. You must try to work on these yourself. You must try very hard. If the problems are done for you then you learn nothing.
Please try to understand what I am saying. Taking shortcuts now means taking the long way later. Trying is everything here. Everyone has problems with math, it's hard. To get better in it is like everything else, practice. So I encourage you to look at what soroban and mathsyperson said and try work it yourself. Posts your tries here and someone will help you.
Thanks for the problem and the enjoyment I got misunderstanding it. Oh, that's another thing, your missing out on lots of fun. Did I say, welcome to the forum?
Thanks for the warm welcome to the forum:D Now, I need a little help with the worded explanation on the question. I don't quite understand what it wants me to say.

Hi; Also there is some ambiguity in the usage of side, to me it means face. R1 has 3 sides. R1 has 3 faces. R1 has 9 edges. Is that what you want?
just what the question says please, i didn't write them.:D

Hi Mariner;
According to the drawing the first rhombus only has 7 dots or vertices, instead of 8. Is that a mistake or is that what they want?
Going by the drawing R4 will have 37 dots.
i'm not sure. I guess you just assume that it's only 7 dots because they have made no effort to add it in or make a note saying it's included:)
