Study the given graph and answer the question that follows.
The graph shows the average height (in cm) of the boys and the girls of five classes in a school.
If the numbers of girls and the numbers of boys in Class C are equal, then what is the combined average height of all the students of Class C, taken together?
Let's assume the numbers of girls in Class C is 'y'.
If the numbers of girls and the numbers of boys in Class C are equal,
numbers of girls in Class CÂ = the numbers of boys in Class C = y
Total height of girls in Class C = $$145\times y$$ = 145y
Total height of boys in Class C =Â $$155\times y$$ =Â 155y
Average height of all the students of Class C, taken together =Â $$\frac{145y+155y}{y+y}$$
= $$\frac{300y}{2y}$$
= 150 cm
