Mary wants to determine the average height of the plants in her plant collection. she measures them and finds their heights are 8 inches, 7.5 inches, 11 inches, 6.5 inches, and 14 inches. what is the average height of her plants?

The average is all the numbers added up divided by the amount of plants measured.
This would be 7.5 + 11 + 6.5 + 14 + 8 all divided by 5.
This average is 47/5 which is 9.4 inches.

Ithink it's dissoulution

The whale was a missile blasting from beneath the surface.  2.) a majestic whale leapt skyward before diving back into the sea.    these are both figurative language. this is so because the whale in sentence "1" was not actually a missile, nor was it actually blasting. now, for sentence "2", a whale can not actually "leap".
