Josie is organizing her ribbons for a craft project. The list shows the length of each of her ribbons. 21.5 cm, 12.4 cm, 30.4 cm, 15.3 cm, 10.7 cm, 7.9 cm, 14.6 cm, 11.2 cm Question What is the median ribbon length? Answer Options with 5 options A. 12.4 cm B. 13.0 cm C. 13.5 cm D. 14.6 cm E. 15.5 cm

The median is the middle number ... so we must first put the numbers in ascending order ... lowest to highest ... that is very important

7.9, 10.7, 11.2, 12.4, 14.6, 15.3, 21.5, 30.4 ... notice there are 8 numbers ... when there is an even number of numbers, there will be 2 middle numbers. U take those 2 numbers and add them, then divide by 2 to find the median. If there was an odd number of numbers, there would only be 1 middle number.

So we start at both ends of our numbers and count inwards till we find the 2 middle numbers ... and they are 12.4 and 14.6 ... so we do our adding and dividing ... (12.4 + 14.6) / 2 = 27/2 = 13.5 cm < = = ur median
