Answer:
<em>The threatest whole number in the interval is 2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Numbers and intervals</u>
We are given the interval of numbers between -16 and 2. Since it's not specified, both endpoints of the interval are not included.
If we consider the interval as real numbers, then there are infinitely many numbers there, like -15, -12.56, -8, -2pi, 0.02, 1.99.
If we are restricted to only whole numbers, then we get a limited set of the numbers: {-15, -14, -13, -12,....,1}
Note the greatest number at the right endpoint of the interval is 1, since we are not including 2.
The threatest whole number in the interval is 2
