To find the whole numbers between 27 and 46, we first need to exclude the endpoints since the question specifically asks for numbers between these two values.
The whole numbers greater than 27 start from 28 and go up to 45, since 46 is not included. We can list these numbers as follows:
- 28
- 29
- 30
- 31
- 32
- 33
- 34
- 35
- 36
- 37
- 38
- 39
- 40
- 41
- 42
- 43
- 44
- 45
Counting these numbers gives us:
45 – 28 + 1 = 18
Therefore, there are a total of 18 whole numbers between 27 and 46.
