Question

The positive multiples of a whole number were listed from least to greatest. If the third multiple was 42, what was the 5th multiple

Answer 1

Answer:

$70$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the third multiple of the whole number is $42$. This means that $42$ is completely divisible by the number $3$.

$\dfrac{42}{3}=14$

So, the whole number is $14$.

The fifth multiple would mean the product of $14$ and $5$

$14\times 5=70$

The fifth multiple of the whole number is $70$.
