Your consecutive numbers are 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56.
I found an easy way to determine this; Divide 270 by 5 to get close to the consecutive numbers, since they are almost (number) x 5.
52 + 53 = 105,
105 + 54 = 159
159 + 55 = 214
214 + 56 = 270.
Hope this helps!

Answer:

The second number in the sequence is 53

Explanation:

Assume that the first number in the sequence is x.

Since the numbers are consecutive, therefore:

The second number is : x+1

The third number is : x+2

The fourth number is : x+3

The fifth number is : x+4

We are given that their sum is 270, therefore:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 270

5x + 10 = 270

5x = 260

x = 52

This means that:

First number = x = 52

Second number = x+1 = 53

Third number = x+2 = 54

Fourth number = x+3 = 55

Fifth number = x+4 = 56

Hope this helps :)
