Hi
Let x and (x+2) and (x+4)
represent the first, second and third of three consecutive even numbers 

Question States***
 (3/5) x + 1/2(x+2) +3/8(x+4) = 32
solving for x
Multiplying all terms by 40, so as all denominators = 1
 24x + 20(x+2) + 15(x+4) = 32*40
  59x + 100 = 1280
  59x = 1180
     x = 20  Three  consecutive even numbers  are 20,22,24
CHECKING our Answer***
 3/5*20 + 1/2*22 + 3/8*24 = 12 + 11 + 9 = 32
