Question 79594: Find the measure, in degrees, of the largest exterior angle of a convex polygon whose exterior angles have measures in the ratio 1:2:3:4:5.
My work: 15x = 180 x = 12 ?

The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a convex polygon= 360 degrees.
So 15x=360
x=24
"5x" is the largest of the exterior angles.
5x=5*24=120 degrees.
The larest exterior angle is 120 degrees.
