Question

Three Friends all have ages that are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 48. What is the age of the oldest friend?

Answer 1

Consecutive integers = in this situation double-digit whole numbers So as there are 3 of them let's say 2 are 11 because that would be the highest consecutive number so 11+11= 22 and 48-22=26 so the three have the ages of 11,11,26 and the oldest would be 26 ;)
