Answer:

The numbers would be 21,23 and 25.

The largest is 25. (If this is what you are asking)

Explanation:

The question stated that 3 consecutive odd numbers made up that 69.

Therefore, you can divide the 69 by 3 to determine the range of these numbers.

69/3= 33. So we know the range is 30-35-39 (These are the numbers youd look at to see which consecutive numbers adds up to the 69)

Reason why you divide:

For example, you wouldnt be able to use a number in its 30s or 10s because itd be too high or too low.

Hope it helps.
