The German club made a table showing the ages of its members.

Club members' ages
Name Age (years)
Jaden 11
Aaliyah 6
Harold 7
Maura 7
Reba 7
Scarlett 9

What is the range of the numbers?

1 answer

To find the range of the ages of the club members, we need to subtract the smallest age from the largest age.

The ages given are:

  • Jaden: 11
  • Aaliyah: 6
  • Harold: 7
  • Maura: 7
  • Reba: 7
  • Scarlett: 9

The smallest age is 6 (Aaliyah) and the largest age is 11 (Jaden).

Now, calculate the range: \[ \text{Range} = \text{Largest Age} - \text{Smallest Age} = 11 - 6 = 5 \]

Therefore, the range of the ages is 5 years.
