Question

the sum of three natural consecutive number is 60.what is the product of smallest number and largest number

Answer 1

let us assume that the three consecutive terms are x, x+1, x+2

according to question,

x+x+1+x+2=60

3x+3=60

3x=60-3

3x=57

x=57/3

x=19

therefore,

x=19

x+1=19+1=20

x+2=19+2=21
