Hey
Here is your answer,
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x , x+2 , x+4.
X + x + 2 + x + 4 = 147
3x + 6 = 147
3x = 147 - 6
3x = 141
X = 141/3
X = 47
X+2 = 47+2 = 49
X+4 = 47+4 = 51
The smallest odd number is 47.
Hope it helps you!

Heya !!
Let three consecutive odd numbers are X , X+2 and X + 4.
According to question,
X + X + 2 + X + 4 = 147
3X + 6 = 147
3X = 147-6
X = 141/3 = 47
First number = X = 47
Second number = X + 2 = 47+2 = 49
And,
Third number = X + 4 = 47+4 = 51
Clearly , 47 is smallest odd number.
