There are three numbers. The first two are 2/3 and 3/4.
What does the third number have to be to make the average of all three be 2?
4 7/12
In order for the average of three numbers to be 2, they must all add up to 6. That gives you this equation:
Solve for n = 55/12, or 4 7/12.

Sometimes you’ll find me hard and cold,
What am I?
