Re: 10 second questions

Average is 36, there are 50 pieces of data. 50 * 36 = 1800. One of them is 25 more than 23. So the new total is 1825. Average is 1825 / 50

#3517. A tap can fill a tank in 6 hours. After half the tank is filled, three more similar taps are opened. What is the total time taken to fill the tank completely?
