Dan can get to the center of a lollipop in 58 licks. Micheal does it in 63 licks. Sam & David each take 70 licks to get to the center of a lollipop while Lance only needs 39 licks. What is the average amount of licks it takes to get to the center of a lollipop? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Dan takes 58 licks, Michael takes 63, Sam takes 70, David takes 70 and Lance takes 39 for a total of 58 + 63 + 70 + 70 + 39 = 300 licks. There are 5 people and the total amount of licks is 300 so the average is 300 / 5 = 60 licks to get to the center of a lollipop. So the final answer is 60.
