3. Which is the smallest whole number?

Answer: The smallest whole number is .

4. How many whole numbers are there between 32 and 53?

Instructions

Identify the range: We need the numbers between 32 and 53. This range does not include 32 and 53 themselves.
Find the smallest number after 32 and the largest number before 53: These are 33 and 52, respectively.
Count the numbers from 33 to 52: To find the count of whole numbers, we use the formula for counting numbers in a sequence, which is:
Count = (Largest numberSmallest number) - 1
So, Count = (53 − 32 ) - 1 = - 1 =

5. Write the successor of following numbers.

Instructions

Successor of a number is the number that comes immediately after it, which is found by 1 to the given number.
(a) 2440701 + =
(b) 100199 + =
(c) 1099999 + =
(d) 2345670 + =

6. Write the predecessor of following numbers.

Instructions

The predecessor of a number is the number that comes immediately before it, which is found by 1 from the given number.
(a) 94 - =
(b) 10000 - =
(c) 208090 - =
(d) 7654321 - =

7. In each of the following pairs of numbers, state which whole number is on the left of the other number on the number line. Also write them with the appropriate sign (>, <) between them.

Instructions

Which number is on the left of the other?

  • For the pair (530 and 503) : 530 is 503, so 530 is on the of 503.
  • For the pair (370 and 307): 370 is 307, so 370 is on the of 307.
  • For the pair (98765 and 56789) : 98765 is 56789, so 98765 is on the of 56789.
  • For the pair (9830415 and 10023001) : 9830415 is than 10023001, so 9830415 is on the of 10023001.
  • We have solved the problem.
