(square) kayaks

Explanation:

Step1: List daily kayak counts (Day2-9)

Day2: 0, Day3:8, Day4:7, Day5:8, Day6:14, Day7:5, Day8:11, Day9:10

Step2: Calculate total kayaks

$0 + 8 + 7 + 8 + 14 + 5 + 11 + 10 = 63$

Step3: Find number of days

$9 - 2 + 1 = 8$ days

Step4: Compute average per day

$\text{Average} = \frac{63}{8} = 7.875$

Step5: Predict 11-day total

$7.875 \times 11 = 86.625$, round to 87

Answer:

1. 7.875 kayaks
2. 87 kayaks
