Six consecutive numbers added up to a total of 45 what is the highest of these numbers

Respuesta :

Answer:

11......

Step-by-step explanation:

Just figured what numbers fit..

Do it in my head

The highest number is 10.

Let the numbers be a, a+1, a+2, a+3, a+4 and a+5.

Then, we will add all the numbers and equate them to 45. This will be:

a + (a + 1) + (a + 2) + (a + 3) + (a + 4) + (a + 5) = 45

6a + 15 = 45

Collect like terms

6a = 45 - 15

6a = 30

a = 30/6

a = 5

Smallest number = 5

Then, the largest number will be:

a + 5

Since a = 5

a + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10

In conclusion, the highest number is 10.
