Answer:

the answer is 51.

Explanation:

Call the first number in the sequence x. The next integer in the sequence is x+1. The sum of the 4 consecutive integer is: x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=198 4x+6=198 4x=192 x=48 Since x is the first number, x+3 is the fourth integer. Thus, the fourth number in the sequence is 51.
