Q:

 What is the greatest of 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 24 ?

A) 6 B) 7
C) 8 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 9

Explanation:

The sum of three consecutive integers can be written as n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 3n + 3

If the sum is 24, we need to solve the equation 3n + 3 = 24;

=> 3n = 21;

=> n = 7

The greatest of the three numbers is therefore 7 + 2 = 9
