b) What is the average of these numbers
c) If the sum of the three consecutive number is 38064, what is their average?

Answer 1

Answer:

AVERAGE  of the three consecutive numbers is  MIDDLE NUMBER

Step-by-step explanation:

let 3  three consecutive numbers x-1, x, x+1

sum of the three consecutive numbers is 357

x-1 +x +x+1  =357

3x=357

x    =  357/3

X = 119  

Three numbers are   118,119,,120  

the average of these numbers is   [118+119+120]/3

                                                                    =357/3

                                                                   = 119

If the sum of the three consecutive number is 38064,

38064/3    is their average

12688  is the average
