The Structure of “75”
The number 75 Template
can be expressed as
the sum of consecutive whole
numbers.
For ex, 75 = 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17.
Find two additional sets of consecutive
whole numbers with more than 5
addends that also sum to 75.

Page Clues
A large novel is divided into a three-volume
set. The pages of the novel are numbered
consecutively, beginning with page 1 of volume
1 to the last page of volume 3 (in other words,
if the last page of volume 1 is 324, then the first
page of volume 2 is 325). There are an equal
number of pages in each volume. If the sum of
the numbers on the first page of each volume
is 1281, how many pages does each volume
have?
