The average of a bunch of integers is

(sum total of the integers) divided by (number of integers in the bunch) .

Average = (sum of items) / (number of items).

Write the given information into this formula:

Average = (350) / (7)

Average = 50 .
=================================

You should have noticed immediately that the question does NOT
ask for a list of what the seven consecutive integers are.

If it did, then it would be incumbent on me to demonstrate how they
may be calculated. But since it doesn't, I can merely list them and
then be on my way.

The integers are 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, and 53 .
