I have an array that looks similar to this, 

[4] => Common_Model Object
    (
        [id] => 4

Try this:

$total = 0;
foreach($rt as $elem) {
    $total += $elem->_aliases['rating'];
}
echo sprintf("Average: %d", $total/count($rt));

This is an object, you'd have to access _aliases property by $elem->_aliases, given that it's public property.
echo sprintf() is an "antipattern". There is absolutely no reason that anyone should ever write echo sprintf() in any code for any reason -- it should be printf() every time. This answer is also missing its educational explanation.

<?php
    $total = 0;
    foreach ($rt as $obj) {
         $total += $obj->_aliases['rating'];
    }
    print $total / count($rt);
?>
