Solution

The highest possible value of "n" that is divisible by 3 and less than or equal to 44 is 42. Here's how you can find it:

  1. Start with the highest number given, which is 44.
  2. Check if it is divisible by 3. You can do this by dividing 44 by 3. If the result is a whole number, then 44 is divisible by 3. If not, then it isn't.
  3. In this case, 44 divided by 3 is not a whole number. So, 44 is not divisible by 3.
  4. Move to the next lower number, which is 43, and repeat the process.
  5. Again, 43 divided by 3 is not a whole number. So, 43 is not divisible by 3.
  6. Move to the next lower number, which is 42, and repeat the process.
  7. This time, 42 divided by 3 equals 14, which is a whole number. So, 42 is divisible by 3.
  8. Therefore, the highest possible value of "n" that is divisible by 3 and less than or equal to 44 is 42.
