This is a mathematics question. There are 8 numbers in a sequence that add up to 250 (ex. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8). The average of these 8 numbers is = 31.25. My question is, is there a way to calculate the values of all 8 numbers, being that #1 will be the lowest number of the sequence, and #8 being the highest number in the sequence. Is there any other variable required to calculate this?
