Hi there!

The greatest number is 13.

The definition of consecutive numbers is three counting numbers right next to each other on the number line. For example, 3, 4 and 5 would be consecutive numbers.

Since
13 + 12 + 11 = 36,
then the answer is 13, since it is the greatest number.

Hope this helps!

The greatest number is 13

They are consecutive so it has to be 11 + 12 + 13 which is 36

13 is the greatest out of these
