Question

The mean of the first seven multiples of 5 is:

• A. 25
• B. 20
• C. 30
• D. 35

Hint:

To find the mean, add all the terms and divide by the number of terms.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The first seven multiples of 5 are: \[ 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. \] The mean is given by: \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of terms}}{\text{Number of terms}}. \] The sum of the terms is: \[ 5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 + 30 + 35 = 140. \] Thus, the mean is: \[ \frac{140}{7} = 20. \] Thus, the correct answer is \( \boxed{20} \).
