Question

Greatest whole number lying between -16 and 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

The threatest whole number in the interval is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers and intervals

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
