The first number in the sequence which will be in the 5 times table is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, what we are asked to calculate is the number in the sequence that will be a multiple of 5 given the first number in the sequence and the subsequent differences.

The second number will be 16 + 8 = 24

The third number will be 24 + 8 = 32

The fourth number will be 32 + 8 = 40

Since 40 is a multiple of 5, thus, the first number in the sequence which will be in the 5 times table is 40
