Answer: I think it's 960.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up all of the numbers:

(160.2+163.2+157.8+159) = 640.2

Find the average by diving 640.2 by how many numbers there are:

640.2 : 4 = 160.05

Round that average^^:

160.05 >>> 160

Multiply by how many numbers there will be:

In this case, your job is to estimate how far Jose ran in 6 months, not just those 4. So instead of multiplying the average (160) by 4, you'd multiply it by 6.

160 x 6 = 960
