To find the number of whole numbers between 32 and 53, we start by identifying the whole numbers that lie within this range. Whole numbers are non-negative integers starting from 0 and include every integer up to the maximum in our specified range.
The whole numbers between 32 and 53 are: 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, and 52.
To determine the total count of these numbers, we subtract the lower limit from the upper limit and then subtract 1 (since we are not including the endpoints):
Count = (Upper Limit – Lower Limit – 1) = (53 – 32 – 1) = 20.
Therefore, there are 20 whole numbers between 32 and 53.
