Question

If the average of five consecutive number is 23 find yhe smallest number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smaller number will be 'x'

let consecutive numbers will be x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4

Average of 5 consecutive numbers = 23

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)/5=23

5x+10=105

5× = 95

x = 19

therefore, Smaller number = 19
