Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula to find average of a set of values is, you add all the numbers, then you divide by the total amount of numbers.

you can work backwards with your problem by multiplying 1/4*2

[tex] \frac{1}{4} \times 2 = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

then you subtract 1/8 from that

[tex] \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3}{8} [/tex]

3/8 is the other number to get an average of 1/4
