The sum of three consecutive integers is 240. List the numbers from smallest to largest:
Let's assign variables to the three consecutive integers. Let x be the smallest number.
So, the three consecutive integers can be represented as x, x+1, and x+2.
According to the given information, the sum of these three consecutive integers is 240.
So, we can write the following equation:
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 240
Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of x:
3x + 3 = 240
3x = 240 - 3
3x = 237
x = 237/3
x = 79
Therefore, the smallest number is 79.
The three consecutive integers are:
79, 80, and 81.
