okay, so my math teacher left us with a question for homework that i can't figure out, please leave an answer AND and explanation so i know how to come to the answer. Here is the question:

A man walks into a bar he always used to go to and is talking to the bar tender, whilst in conversation, the bar tender inquires about his children asking about the ages of his children. the man answers in a riddle: i have 3 sons, the product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the street number of the bar. the bar tender replies saying that he doesn't have enough information to know, the man replies, oh! and my youngest son likes strawberry ice cream!. the bar tender then says yes now i know!

what is the solution please ?!!?
