Average

Hi
I hope someone can help Me!!! I'm I doing this the right way.

I have to combine two numbers and convert two times and find the average time for the combine numbers

Example

8,285 + 13,053 = 21,338

Time 2 Days 22:47 + 8:49 hrs/mn

Convert the two times given into mins

2 days 22:47 = 4247 mins
8:49 hrs/mn 529 mins   
add together 4776

21338 divided by 4776= 4:46 hrs/mins

thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Average

Hi

I believe something is wrong somewhere. Also average time should be equal to (Total Time)/Number. Hence Average time here should be equal to ((2 days 22:47)+8:49)/21338. Also  2 days 22:47 should be equal to 2743mins and not 4247 mins. The total time hence should be 3263 mins. The average will be 3263mins/21338, which will be equal to 0.1529 mins or 9.17secs.

However please clarify with other members.
