Hey!
So if it's great than 24 and less than 38 your choices are 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, and 37
Now the number is even, so your choices reduce leaving you with, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, and 36
But now it has to be divisible by 5 and the only number That can do that is 30
30 is the number Jordan wrote
hope this helps!

Hey!

The number is greater than 24 and less than 38

The possibilities are: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37

The number is even.

Now, the possibilities are: 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36

The number can be divisible by 5. That means it ends with 0 or 5. There is only 1 number that ends with 0 or 5 and it is 30.

Answer ⇒ 30

Hope this helps! :)
