Average Bond Length in Resonance Structures

Question

A molecule has resonance structures that involve the two bond types detailed in the table below. Based on the data, what is the average bond length in the molecule?

| Bond Type | Bond Length (Å) | Occurrence (%) |
|-----------|-----------------|----------------|
| Type 1    | 1.35            | 33.3           |
| Type 2    | 1.50            | 66.7           |
