In this blog, you’ll find a simple formula PDF, practice questions with answers, and extra problems to try on your own. You’ll also learn about common mistakes students make and some tricks to save time during the exam.
Important Formulas for IPMAT Average Questions
You only need a few basic formulas to solve average questions. These help you find the average of a group of numbers, figure out missing numbers, or compare averages between groups.
You can download the full formula PDF from the link above. Here’s a quick look at the main formulas for averages:
Concept | Formula |
Basic Average | (Total of all values) ÷ (Number of values) |
Average Speed | Total Distance ÷ Total Time |
Weighted Average | (Total of weighted values) ÷ (Total weights) |
New Average After Adding a Value | (Old Total + New Value) ÷ (New Number of Values) |
Find Missing Value | (Total of all values) − (Known values) |
These formulas are helpful for solving questions about scores, ages, distances, times, or anything where you need to find an average.
Top 5 Common Mistakes to Avoid in IPMAT Average Questions
Using the wrong sum or count : Always check if you’re adding up the correct numbers and using the right count of items for your average.
Confusing sums with averages : Averages are not the same as sums. Be sure to divide by the right number of values when finding an average.
Forgetting to update totals when adding a new value:When you add a new value, make sure to update the total sum and the number of items.
Forgetting to use weights in weighted averages: If the question is about weighted averages, remember to multiply the values by their correct weights before dividing.
Not checking for consistency: Double-check your values, especially in word problems, to avoid mistakes when adding or subtracting.
