To find the average of the first five multiples of 12, follow these steps:
-
Identify the first five multiples of 12:
- 12 × 1 = 12
- 12 × 2 = 24
- 12 × 3 = 36
- 12 × 4 = 48
- 12 × 5 = 60
-
Add these multiples together:
12 + 24 + 36 + 48 + 60 = 180 -
Divide the sum by the number of multiples (which is 5):
180 ÷ 5 = 36
Answer: The average of the first five multiples of 12 is 36.
