♦First of get convinced that the three numbers will be of the form, 4x, 4(x+1) and 4(x+2) (Since the numbers are consecutive multiples of 4), for some real number x.
♦Now, let us find x from the given condition on sum of the three numbers.
♦Here we will have, 4x + 4(x+1) + 4(x+2) = 444
♦=> x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 111 (dividing both sides by 4)
♦=>x + x+1 + x+2 =111
♦=> 3x + 3 = 111
♦=> 3x = 108
♦=> x = 36.
♦So, the three desired numbers 4x, 4(x+1) and 4(x+2) are,
♦4*36, 4*(36+1) and 4*(36+2)
♦That means the numbers are, 144, 148 and 152.
♦So, the problem is solved and the solution is, the three consecutive multiples of 4 whose sum is 444 are 144, 148 and 152.
