Title: "Family Age Calculation"
Objective: The objective of this exercise is to practice calculating the average age of family members and performing basic arithmetic operations with their ages.
Instructions:
- Gather information about the ages of family members, including parents, siblings, and yourself. Ensure you have at least four family members to work with.
- Write down the ages of each family member in a list.
- Calculate the sum of all the ages in the list.
- Divide the sum by the total number of family members to find the average age.
- Now, imagine that each family member's age increases by 5 years.
- Recalculate the sum and average age using the updated ages.
- Finally, subtract the average age before the increase from the average age after the increase.
- Write down the final result as the answer to the exercise.
Example: Let's consider a family with the following ages:
- Father: 40 years old
- Mother: 38 years old
- Older sibling: 18 years old
- You: 15 years old
- List of ages: [40, 38, 18, 15]
- Sum of ages: 40 + 38 + 18 + 15 = 111
- Average age: 111 / 4 = 27.75
- Increased ages: [45, 43, 23, 20]
- Sum of increased ages: 45 + 43 + 23 + 20 = 131
- Average age after increase: 131 / 4 = 32.75
- Difference in average ages: 32.75 - 27.75 = 5
Answer: The difference in average ages before and after the increase is 5 years.
Note: You can modify the exercise by adding more family members or changing the age increment to make it more challenging.
