What is the average of even numbers from 5 to 16? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of even numbers from 5 to 16.
To find the average of the even numbers from 5 to 16, we first calculate how many even numbers there are from 5 to 16. Then, we calculate the sum of even numbers from 5 to 16. And finally, we divide the sum by the number of even numbers to get the average.
The range is from 5 to 16, and the even numbers within that range are from 6 to 16. Therefore, the first even number in the sequence is 6, and the last even number in the sequence is 16.
Step 1) Calculate the total number of even numbers from 5 to 16
Here we calculate the total number of even numbers from 5 to 16 by entering the first and last even number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
tot = (last - first + 2) ÷ 2
tot = (16 - 6 + 2) ÷ 2
tot = 12 ÷ 2
tot = 6
Total even numbers from 5 to 16 = 6
Step 2) Calculate the sum of even numbers from 5 to 16
To calculate the sum of even numbers from 5 to 16, you enter the total even numbers (tot) from Step 1 and the first even number in the sequence into our formula. Here is the formula and the math:
sum = (tot ÷ 2) × (2 × first + (2 × (tot - 1))
sum = (6 ÷ 2) × (2 × 6 + (2 × (6 - 1))
sum = 3 × (12 + 10)
sum = 3 × 22
sum = 66
Sum of even numbers from 5 to 16 = 66
Step 3) Calculate the average of even numbers from 5 to 16
Almost done! Now we can calculate the average of even numbers from 5 to 16 by dividing the sum of even numbers from Step 2 by the total even numbers from Step 1. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:
Average = sum ÷ tot
Average = 66 ÷ 6
Average = 11
Average of even numbers from 5 to 16 = 11
