    1. You get the mean by adding them all up then dividing by how many there were. So when she divided by 5, getting 6, they must have added up to 5 x 6 = 30. So do 2 + 9 + 6 + 3, then subtract that from 30.

    2. Range is highest minus lowest. 40 times 3 =120 so you know the three add to 120.

    120 - 38 = 82 so the other two add to 82, but are 10 apart. So 46 and 36
