We are asked for consecutive even numbers which sum to 20. Thus, we can generalize the sum as \(n+(n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)+(n+8) = 20\) because even numbers are one every two consecutive numbers. Then, we can get the value of the smallest, n, solving \(5n+20 = 20\), from which we get n = 0.
The product of the median times the smallest even integer, whatever is the median is 0 because the smallest integer is zero.
Answer E
The product of the median times the smallest even integer, whatever is the median is 0 because the smallest integer is zero.
Answer E
