Question

The sum of 5 55 consecutive even numbers is 200 200200. What is the fifth number in this sequence?

Answer 1

fifth number in the sequence = 44

Explanation:

let the five consecutive even numbers be,

x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8

according to the question,

x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 + x+8 = 200

5x + 20 = 200

5x = 180

x = 180/5 = 36

fifth number in the sequence will be,

x + 8 = 36 + 8 = 44
