Answer:

3

Explanation:

You want the greatest of three consecutive odd integers that have a sum of 3.

The average of the integers is their sum divided by their number:

average = 3/3 = 1

This is the value of the middle of the three integers, so they are ...

-1, 1, 3

The greatest of the three is 3.
