I'm not sure what you mean by "the 3 consecutive numbers of 72".
Do you mean 3 consecutive numbers that ADD UP TO 72 ?
If that's what you want, then you can use this equation:
The middle number . . . . . x
The smallest number . . . . (x-1)
The biggest number . . . . . (x+1)
The equation: (x-1) + (x) + (x+1) = 72 .
Boil that equation down, and you discover that x=24 .
So the 3 numbers are 23, 24, and 25 .

Step-by-step explanation:
<span>3/28 exactly, or approximately 10.7%
Since we're drawing without replacement, let's first calculate the probability that the 1st marble is white. There are 3 white marbles out of a total of 8 marbles. So the probability of the 1st marble being white is 3/8.
Now assuming that the first marble picked is white, the probability of the second marble is 2 out of the 7 remaining marbles. So it's probability is 2/7.
This means that the probability of both marbles being white is 3/8 * 2/7 = 6/56 = 3/28, or approximately 10.7%</span>
If you round 5.066 to the nearest hundredth it would be 5.07
