Tried a whole bunch of odd sequences:

11 + 13 + 15 = 39
Nope too small.

21 + 23 + 25 = 69
Woah too big!

And after a few more trials found that:
17 + 19 + 21 = 51

Woohoo!

An odd number is ussualy written as "2k+1" and an even number is written as "2k".
Now, as there are 3 consecutive odd numbers that sum to 51, it can be written this way: 
(2k+1)+(2k+3)+(2k+5)=51
6k+9=51
6k=42
k=7 => The numbers are: 2*7+1=15
                                         2*7+3=17
                                          2*7+5=19
15+17+19=51

52.85 ROUNDED AT NEAREST ONE
RoseWind [281]

Answer: 53

52.85 is closer to 53, than it is to 52

The digit after the ones digit is 8, which is 5 or larger, so that tells us to round up from 52 to 53. We drop everything after the ones digit.

Miriam has 62 feet of fencing to make a rectangular vegetable garden. Which dimensions will give Miriam the garden with greatest
lidiya [134]
Perimeter: P=62 feet
P=2(b+h)
62=2(b+h)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
62/2=2(b+h)/2
31=b+h
b+h=31   (1)

Area: A=bh   (2)

Isolating h in equation (1)
(1) b+h=31→b+h-b=31-b→h=31-b   (3)

Replacing h by 31-b in equation (2)
(2) A=bh
A=b(31-b)
A=31b-b^2

To maximize the area:
A'=0

A'=(A)'=(31b-b^2)'=(31b)'-(b^2)'=31-2b^(2-1)→A'=31-2b

A'=0→31-2b=0
Solving for b:
31-2b+2b=0+2b
31=2b
Dividing both sides by 2:
31/2=2b/2
31/2=b
b=31/2=15.5

Replacing b by 31/2 in equation (3)
h=31-b
h=31-31/2
h=(2*31-31)/2
h=(62-31)/2
h=31/2

The dimensions are 31/2 ft x 31/2 ft = 15.5 ft x 15.5 ft
The area with these dimensions is: A=(15.5 ft)(15.5 ft)→A=240.25 ft^2

These dimensions are not in the options

1) The first option has an area of: A=(18 ft)(13 ft)→A=234 ft^2
2) The second option has an area of: A=(19 ft)(12 ft)→A=228 ft^2
3) The third option has an area of: A=(17 ft)(14 ft)→A=238 ft^2

The third option has the largest area.

Answer: Third option
