The average of 5 conservative numbers is 95,what is the 4th number?
A.93 B.90 C.96 D.100
There are a couple of ways to approach this problem, but one possible method is to use the definition of conservative numbers. Conservative numbers are integers that are either perfect squares or the sum of two perfect squares. Since the average of 5 conservative numbers is 95, their total sum is 5 times 95, or 475.
Now, we can try different combinations of conservative numbers that add up to 475 and see which one has the fourth largest value. One such combination is:
- 1^2 + 4^2 + 7^2 + 9^2 + 10^2 = 1 + 16 + 49 + 81 + 100 = 247
- 1^2 + 4^2 + 7^2 + 25^2 + 31^2 = 1 + 16 + 49 + 625 + 961 = 1652
- 1^2 + 4^2 + 9^2 + 25^2 + 31^2 = 1 + 16 + 81 + 625 + 961 = 1684
- 1^2 + 7^2 + 9^2 + 16^2 + 31^2 = 1 + 49 + 81 + 256 + 961 = 1348
- 4^2 + 7^2 + 9^2 + 16^2 + 31^2 = 16 + 49 + 81 + 256 + 961 = 1363
Out of these combinations, the fourth largest value is 25^2, which corresponds to option D, 100. Therefore, the answer is D.
Conservative numbers ?? and the bot has some definition of kind !!!!
never heard of them , probably meant "consecutive"
(x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)/5 = 95
5x + 10 = 475
x = 93
so we have 93, 94, 95, 96, and 97
the 4th is 96 ,which is choice C
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Yes, the problem seems to be about finding the fourth number in a list of consecutive integers that have a certain average. Thank you for correcting me and providing the correct solution. Choice C, 96, is indeed the answer.
To find the fourth number, we need to use the concept of averages.
The average of 5 numbers is equal to the sum of all the numbers divided by the count of the numbers.
Given that the average of 5 conservative numbers is 95, and we know four of the numbers, we can calculate the fourth number using the formula:
Average = (Sum of all numbers) / (Count of numbers)
Let's assume the four known numbers are A, B, C, and D:
Average = (A+B+C+D+Unknown number) / 5
Given that the average is 95, we can substitute the values:
95 = (A+B+C+D+Unknown number) / 5
Rearranging the equation, we get:
(A+B+C+D+Unknown number) = 95 * 5
Simplifying, we have:
A+B+C+D+Unknown number = 475
Since we know the values of A, B, C, and D, we can substitute them into the equation and solve for the Unknown number.
For example, if A=93, B=90, C=96, and D=100:
93 + 90 + 96 + 100 + Unknown number = 475
Subtracting the known numbers from both sides:
Unknown number = 475 - (93 + 90 + 96 + 100)
Calculating:
Unknown number = 475 - 379
Unknown number = 96
Therefore, the fourth conservative number is 96.
So, the answer is C. 96.
