The mean is just the average of these numbers:
(238 + 159 + 87 + 163 + 198) / 5 = 169 miles.

The mean is the average.
To get the average you must add all the digits and then divide by the number of digits added.
First add all the digits,
238+159+87+163+198= 845
Then divide by the number of digits added,
845/5 = 169

239 plus 159 plus 87 plus 163 plus 198 equals 845. 845 divided by 5 is 169 miles.

A mean is an average so all you do is add up all these numbers and you will get 845. You will then divide the sum of these miles by the number of terms you are given, 5. 845/5=169.
Answer: 169 miles

The mean is just another name for the average.
Add them all up and divide by the total number of days (5).
