Question

The positive multiples of a whole number were listed from least to greatest. If the third multiple was 42, what was the 5th multiple

Answer 1

`70`

Explanation:

If the third multiple of the whole number is
`42`. This means that
`42` is completely divisible by the number
`3`.

`(42)/(3)=14`

So, the whole number is
`14`.

The fifth multiple would mean the product of
`14` and
`5`

`14* 5=70`

The fifth multiple of the whole number is
`70`.
