If you are asked to take an appropriate average from a box plot or cumulative frequency with a fairly even range either side of the box, use the mean, because it will be the most accurate. However, if there is an unusually high result, use the median because it will be unaffected by this result, and so less skewed. The mode is the most fashionable number, i.e. the result that occurs most. All it really does is give a rough idea of the average.
