Answer:
23 and 24
Explanation:
The method I use to do these sort of problems is that I divide the number by 2. In this case, 47 ÷ 2 is 23.5.
Now the two whole numbers less than 23.5 and greater than 23.5 are the consecutive numbers that add up to 47.
You can check by adding 23 + 24 which equals 47.
