Final answer:
The least value the highest number could be, when the sum of three consecutive numbers is greater than 60, is 20.
Explanation:
The sum of three consecutive numbers can be represented as x + (x+1) + (x+2). According to the question, this sum is greater than 60. Hence, x + (x+1) + (x+2) > 60. Solving this inequality, the minimum value that the highest number (x+2) could take is 20.
