Question

average of 5 consecutive even number is 12.smallest number and largest number are​
​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the sum of the 5 consecutive even numbers:

Average = 12

Sum = 12 x 5 = 60

Let x be the smallest number

The other 4 numbers will be (x + 2), (x + 4), (x + 6) and (x + 8)

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 60

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 60

5x + 20 = 60

5x = 40

x = 40 ÷ 5

x = 8

Find the smallest number and the largest number:

Smallest number = x = 8

Largest number = x + 8 = 8 + 8 = 16

Answer 2

hey. yrr

let. 1st consecutive number be x.

then,

=x+(×+1)+(×+2)+(×+3)+(×+4)=12

=5×+10=12

= 5×=2

×= 2/5

smallest =2/5

large =2/5+4

= 22/5
