The average of 5 consecutive odd numbers in descending order is 95. Find the fourth number in the descending order.

The fourth number in descending order is 93.

Five consecutive odd numbers have their middle one equal to the average, so the middle is 95.

In descending order they are 99, 97, 95, 93, 91.

The fourth of these is 93.

So the required number is 93.

For consecutive terms the mean equals the central term.
