1 answer

To calculate the average height of the students in the class, we first need to find the total height of all the students combined and then divide by the total number of students.

Total height of the girls = 10 girls x 1.58m = 15.8m
Total height of the boys = 20 boys x 1.67m = 33.4m

Total height of all students = 15.8m (girls) + 33.4m (boys) = 49.2m

Total number of students in the class = 10 girls + 20 boys = 30 students

Average height of the students in the class = Total height of all students / Total number of students
Average height = 49.2m / 30 = 1.64m

Therefore, the average height of the students in the class is 1.64m.
