Answer:

Cannot be determined since the question is wrong.

Explanation:

The fourth odd number is: 1, 3, 5, 7

h+t+o=12

h+t+7=12

Subtract 7 from both sides

h+t=5

If it rounds up to 400, h must be 3.

3+t=5

Subtract 3 from both sides

t=2

So our number is 327? It doesn't round up to 400 so the question is probably wrong. You probably got a typo in their like the numbers adding up to 12 or rounding to 300.

Answer:

417

Explanation:

count 1, 3, 5, (7) is the fourth one

it needs to be rounded to 400 so it is between 350 and 450

lets try in the 300s, 12 -(3 + 7) = 2. but 327 does not round to 400 so it does not work

lets try in the 400s, 12 - (4 + 7) = 1. put that one in the middle and you get 417 which fits the entire description
