O 15
O 24
O 30​

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let four consecutive even numbers are x, x+2,x+4,x+6

27 =(x+x+2+x+4+x+6)/4

27*4=4x+12

{27*4}/4=x+3

27=x+3

27-3=x

24=x

Answer 2

Given that the average of four consecutive even numbers is 27

Let the four consecutive even numbers be x−2,x,x+2,x+4

The average =

4

(x−2)+x+(x+2)+(x+4)

Therefore, 27=

4

4x+4

⟹27=x+1

⟹x=26

The largest number is x+4=26+4=30
