Question

Three positive whole numbers are all different.

The numbers have a median of 8 and a mean of 6
Find the three numbers.

Answer 1

1, 8, 9

Explanation:

total sum of 3 numbers, 6 * 3 = 18

since the median is 8 the second number should be 8.

it is now left with 2 numbers that total to 10

The third number should be 8 or higher, but it can't be 8 because all of the numbers are different. The third number should be 9 and the first number is going to be 1
