Question

of the three numbers, second is twice the first and is also thrice the third.if the average of three numbers is 44 ,what is the largest number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the no. X, 2x and 3x

Hence the average will be x+2x+3x/3=44

2x=44

X=22

Hence the largest no. Will be 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The largest number is 72 (hopefully I am correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no.s be x, y and z

According to question,

Let the middle number be y

⇒ y = 2x ⇒ x = y/2 ----(1)

⇒ y = 3z ⇒ z = y/3 -----(2)

Also,

[x + y + z]÷3 = 44

y/2   +   y   +   y/3   = 132

⇒y = 72

⇒x = 36

⇒z = 24

∴ The largest value is 72
