Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets assume be the first number is 6 then secod number would be 3 and third would be 2 according to condition....and they are in the ratio of 6:3:2 so there would be one common multiple for all..lets find that common multiple. thus we know that the average is 44.. that means we can say that (
(6x+3x+2x)/3=44 where x is the common multiple
then,
6x+3x+2x=132
11x =132
x=12, which is common multiple..
so firtst number would be 12*6=72
Your answer is 72
similarly second number would be 3*12=36
and third 2*12=24
you can cross verify,
(72+36+24)/3,
132/3.
44
