?
n%2B%28n%2B1%29%2B%28n%2B2%29%2B%28n%2B3%29=28
?
Not consecutive numbers, and not integers

* The sum of three consecutive numbers is 27. The second number is three times the first,while the third is twice the first find their average
------

Three CONSECUTIVE Numbers n-1, n, and n+1;

%28n-1%29%2Bn%2B%28n%2B1%29=27.
Solve and check the conditions given in the description.
The other conditions are wrong, and do not agree with the solution to the first sentence.

* Emma is twice as old as Greg who in turn is 5 years older than Kevin. If their total age is 47.How old is each of them
----
Emma      2(k+5)
Greg      k+5
Kevin      k
TOTAL     47

.
* The sum of four consecutive numbers is 28. Find the numbers

     Such four integer consecutive numbers DO NOT EXIST.


* The sum of three consecutive numbers is 27. The second number is three times the first,while the third is twice the first find their average

     Such three integer consecutive numbers DO NOT EXIST.

     This problem, as written and presented, is the mix of two totally different problems.
