Well, in order to get 145, you'd need to add up 15, 27, 29, 31,  and 33.
The third number in this sequence is 29, so... there you have it.

Let

x-------> the first odd number

x+2----> the second consecutive odd number

x+4----->  the third consecutive odd number

x+6----->  the fourth consecutive odd number

x+8----->  the fifth  consecutive odd number

we know that

\(x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)=145\)

Solve for x

\(5x+20=145\)

\(5x=145-20\)

\(5x=125\)

\(x=25\)

so

The sequence is

\(25,27,29,31,33\)

therefore

the answer is

The third number in the sequence is the number \(29\)
