Problem
How many whole numbers lie in the interval between 
and 
?
Solution
The smallest whole number in the interval is 
because 
is more than 
but less than . The largest whole number in the interval is 
because is more than but less than 
. There are five whole numbers in the interval. They are , 
, 
, 
, and , so the answer is 
.
