Question

the sum of five consecutive odd number is 220. Find the greatest of the five number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Greatest of the five numbers = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 1st number be ' x '

Then 2nd will be x +1

3rd = x + 2

4th = x + 3

5th = x + 4

Sum of five number = 220

=> x + (x +1) + ( x + 2 ) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) = 220

=> x + x + x + x + x + 1 +2 + 3 + 4 = 220

=> 5x + 10 = 220

=> 5x = 220 - 10

=> 5x = 210

=> x = 210/5 = 42

.°. 5 Numbers are 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46

Greatest of the five numbers = 46
