Question

The sum of 5 consecutive number is 1185. Which is the third number?

Answer 1

Let the 5 consecutive numbers be x, x+1, x+2, x+3 and x+4
Now, x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4 = 1185
5x+10 = 1185
5x = 1175
x = 235
Hence, Third number is = x+2 = 237

Answer 2

Answer:

Third number is 237.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 5 consecutive number is 1185. Which is the third number?

Since all the numbers are consecutive,so,let the numbers are x,x+1,x+2,x+3 and x+4

ATQ

$x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 1185 \\ \\ 5x + 10 = 1185 \\ \\ 5x = 1185 - 10 \\ \\ 5x = 1175 \\ \\ x = \frac{1175}{5} \\ \\ x = 235$

So, third number is:x+2= 237.
