Answer 1

We will list all the integers between the numbers 27 and 46. Then as per the whole number find out how many whole numbers are between 27 and 46.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the question we are asked to find how many whole numbers are there between the numbers 27 and 46.
Before finding out, we will first know what are whole numbers.
The whole numbers are the part of the number system in which it includes all the positive integers from 0 to infinity. These numbers exist in the number line; hence they are also known as real numbers. So, we can say that all the whole numbers are real numbers too and vice versa is also true. Also, natural numbers with the number ‘0’ are also considered as Whole numbers, for example: 0, 11, 25, 36, etc.
The whole numbers are the numbers without fractions and it is a collection of all positives including ‘0’. They do not contain fractional as well as decimal numbers. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operators are possible with the whole numbers.
The whole numbers can be negative also.
Now we will list all the whole numbers between 27 and 46, they are as follows:
{28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45}
So, on counting these we get, there are a total of 18 whole numbers between 27 and 46.

Note: Students sometimes count 27 and 46 as well, and get wrong answers. They should be careful and exclude these numbers. As in this question we have to find the whole numbers between 27 and 46.
