$350$ ,

$380$ ,

$390$ ,

$420$ ,

$460$ ,

$470$ ,

$500$ ,

$530$

Step 1

Arrange the terms in ascending order.

$350, 380, 390, 390, 420, 460, 460, 470, 500, 530$

Step 2

The median is the middle term in the arranged data set. In the case of an even number of terms, the median is the average of the two middle terms.

$\frac{420 + 460}{2}$

Step 3

Remove parentheses.

$\frac{420 + 460}{2}$

Step 4

Cancel the common factor of

$420 + 460$ and

$2$ .

Factor

$2$ out of

$420$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot 210 + 460}{2}$

Factor

$2$ out of

$460$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot 210 + 2 \cdot 230}{2}$

Factor

$2$ out of

$2 \cdot 210 + 2 \cdot 230$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot (210 + 230)}{2}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor

$2$ out of

$2$ .

$\frac{2 \cdot (210 + 230)}{2 (1)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 \cdot (210 + 230)}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{210 + 230}{1}$

Divide

$210 + 230$ by

$1$ .

$210 + 230$

Step 5

Add

$210$ and

$230$ .

$440$

Step 6

Convert the median

$440$ to decimal.

$440$
