Respuesta :

reinhard10158

Step-by-step explanation:

the average is the sum of all data points divided by the number of data points (5).

2 hours 17 minutes

2 hours 48 minutes

1 hour 53 minutes

2 hours 19 minutes

1 hour 38 minutes

------------------------------

8 hours 175 minutes

175 minutes = 2 hours 55 minutes

so, we need to add this to the 8 hours and get

10 hours 55 minutes

this we need to divide by 5 for the average time

(10 hours 55 minutes) / 5 = 2 hours 11 minutes =

= 2×60 + 11 = 120 + 11 = 131 minutes.

so, their score is 131.
