A) 10.5   B) 11.0   C) 11.5   D)12.0    E) 12.5

answer is A)

2. Five pieces of wood have an average (arithmetic mean) length of 124cm, and a median leghth of 140cm.  What is the maxium poosible length, in centimeters, of the shortest piece of wood?

answer is (B)

 

Thank you very much

2, (a+b+c+d+e)/5=124, respectly, c=140, then if hope  a(the shortest piece of wood)is maxium, then d and e must as short as possible d=e=140, then a=b=100

题目出的玄乎又玄,BS米国人,其实就是简单的加减法:

13.5-1.5*2=10.5
