Answer:
The second number is the smallest of the three numbers with
value n = 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the second number, then the first number is 2n and the third number is 4n.
so
[tex]n+2n+4n=112[/tex]
Solving for n
[tex]n+2n+4n=112[/tex]
[tex]7n=112[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7n}{7}=\frac{112}{7}[/tex]
[tex]n=16[/tex]
As n = 16 is the second number.
The first number = 2n = 2(16) = 32
The third number = 4n = 4(16) = 64
Therefore, the second number is the smallest of the three numbers with value n = 16.
