What is the average of even numbers from 5 to 9? Here we will show you how to calculate the average of even numbers from 5 to 9.
To find the average of the even numbers from 5 to 9, we first calculate how many even numbers there are from 5 to 9. Then, we calculate the sum of even numbers from 5 to 9. And finally, we divide the sum by the number of even numbers to get the average.
The range is from 5 to 9, and the even numbers within that range are from 6 to 8. Therefore, the first even number in the sequence is 6, and the last even number in the sequence is 8.
Step 1) Calculate the total number of even numbers from 5 to 9
Here we calculate the total number of even numbers from 5 to 9 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 = (8 - 6 + 2) ÷ 2
tot = 4 ÷ 2
tot = 2
Total even numbers from 5 to 9 = 2
Step 2) Calculate the sum of even numbers from 5 to 9
To calculate the sum of even numbers from 5 to 9, 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 = (2 ÷ 2) × (2 × 6 + (2 × (2 - 1))
sum = 1 × (12 + 2)
sum = 1 × 14
sum = 14
Sum of even numbers from 5 to 9 = 14
Step 3) Calculate the average of even numbers from 5 to 9
Almost done! Now we can calculate the average of even numbers from 5 to 9 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 = 14 ÷ 2
Average = 7
Average of even numbers from 5 to 9 = 7
