Question

average of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 61 what is the difference between of these highest and lowest numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest number be x.

The other numbers are x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8.

Find the total:

Average of the 5 numbers = 61

Total of the 5 numbers = 61 x 5 = 305

Solve x:

x + ( x + 2)  + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8) = 305

x + x + 2  + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 305

5x + 20 = 305

5x = 285

x = 57

Find the lowest and highest number:

lowest = x = 57

highest = x + 8 = 57 + 8 = 65

Find the difference between the highest and the lowest:

difference = 65 - 57 = 8
