practice for computation problems.

1. Based on 5 equally-weighted 1 mile races, John's average time is 6.4 minutes. The team coach decides to drop each racers longest race times, leaving their top 4 performances. John's longest race time was 7.5 minutes. If John runs another race that counts for his average time and takes 6.8 minutes to run it, what is his overall average race time? (note this final average includes 5 races, 4 of his original shortest and his new, final race). (Round to 2 d.p. if appropriate)

I Just need help on how the process of solving the problems so I can understand it.
