To find the mean of the first five odd multiples of 5, let's first identify these multiples:

Odd multiples of 5 are those which are both odd numbers and multiples of 5. These are: 1st odd multiple of 5 = 5 2nd odd multiple of 5 = 15 3rd odd multiple of 5 = 25 4th odd multiple of 5 = 35 5th odd multiple of 5 = 45

Now, to find the mean of these five numbers, we need to:

Add all these numbers together.
Divide the sum by the total number of numbers (which is 5).
Step 1: Add the numbers 5 + 15 + 25 + 35 + 45 = 125

Step 2: Divide by 5 Mean = 125 / 5 = 25

Therefore, the mean of the first five odd multiples of 5 is 25.
