The numbers would be 8 + 10 + 12.
The smallest is 55.
That doesn't work. The number has to be divisible by three. Any three consecutive numbers add up to a multiple of three.

Their sum is three times the middle number.

11
44
That isn't possible. The three consecutive number are assumed to be integers; the sum of three consecutive integers is always a multiple of 3 (try it out).
It means they occur together, one right after another, and there are no other months between them. For example, the period June through August consists of three consecutive months: June, July, and August.
The smallest consecutive three numbers that total 120 are... 39, 40 & 41.
The smallest is 55.
-13, -15 and -17

Any two consecutive numbers must comprise one odd and one even number, so their product must be even. Any three consecutive numbers must include two consecutive numbers so the result still applies.
