Let's represent the three consecutive odd numbers as x, x+2, and x+4.
According to the problem, the sum of these three numbers is 117.
We can set up the equation:
x+(x+2)+(x+4)=117
Simplifying the equation:
3x+6=117
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
3x=111
Dividing both sides by 3:
x=1113
x=37
So the first odd number is 37.
The second odd number is x+2=37+2=39.
The third odd number is x+4=37+4=41.
Therefore, the three consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 117 are 37, 39, and 41.
