The sum of five consecutive multiples of 8 is 560. The smallest multiple is

Correct option is B

Given:

Five consecutive multiples of 8

Their sum = 560

Find the smallest multiple

Solution:

Let the five consecutive multiples be:

x, x + 8, x + 16, x + 24, x + 32

Now,

x + (x+8) + (x+16) + (x+24) + (x+32) = 560

5x + 80 = 560

5x = 480

x = 96

So, the smallest multiple is 96.
