Question

The 78 is between which whole two numbers?

Answer 1

By definition, Whole Numbers are simply the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... (and so on)

Therefore the two Whole Numbers 78 is between are 77 and 79

Answer 2

77, 79

Explanation:

We can think of the set of Whole Numbers as being numbers we associate with Counting Numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc...) with the addition of 0 (please note that there are slightly different definitions of what a Whole Number is and isn't, but for our purposes, what I've written is accurate).

78 is a number which is a counting number (if we count that high) and so therefore a Whole Number and we'd get there by saying:

`...,76, 77, color(red)(78), 79, 80,...`

The numbers 77 and 79 are also Whole Numbers and so these two numbers are the ones 78 sits between.
