Step-by-step explanation:
Let's answer the question, this way:
Depth of the Southern Ocean = x
For solving x, we have:
(10.92 + 9.22 + 7.46 + 5.63 + x)/5 = 8.094
10.92 + 9.22 + 7.46 + 5.63 + x = 40.47 (Multiplying by 5 at both sides)
33.23 + x = 40.47
x = 40.47 - 33.23 (Subtracting 33.23 at both sides)
x = 7.24
The greatest depth of the Southern Ocean is 7.24 kilometers
