Answer:
the three consecutive numbers be 71, 72 and 73 respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the 3 consecutive numbers is shown below:
Let us assume the three consecutive numbers be x , x+1 and x + 2
Now their sum is
x + x + 1 + x+ 2 = 216
3x + 3 = 216
3x = 216 -3
3 = 213
x = 71
x + 1 = 71 + 1 = 72
x + 2 = 71 + 2 = 73
Hence, the three consecutive numbers be 71, 72 and 73 respectively
