How Many Whole Numbers Are There Between 35 and 55?

There are 19 whole numbers between 35 and 55.

The question asks for the number of whole numbers that lie strictly *between* 35 and 55, meaning that 35 and 55 themselves are not included. To calculate this, we first consider all whole numbers from 1 to 55. Then, we subtract all whole numbers from 1 up to and including 35. This will leave us with only the numbers that lie between 35 and 55.

Here's the breakdown:

• Whole numbers up to 55: 1, 2, 3, ... 55 (Total of 55)
• Whole numbers up to 35 (inclusive): 1, 2, 3, ... 35 (Total of 35)

To find the whole numbers between 35 and 55, we subtract 35 from 55, and then subtract 1 to exclude the number 55. Therefore the answer is 55 - 35 - 1 = 19

Alternatively, we can list out the numbers which are:

1. 36
2. 37
3. 38
4. 39
5. 40
6. 41
7. 42
8. 43
9. 44
10. 45
11. 46
12. 47
13. 48
14. 49
15. 50
16. 51
17. 52
18. 53
19. 54

Counting these, we can see there are 19 whole numbers.

Based on the reference provided on 04-Jun-2023, the answer stated is incorrect. The reference indicates that "there are **20** whole numbers between 35 and 55".

Our calculation confirms the correct answer as 19 based on understanding "between" as not including the limit numbers.
