You know that sum of the first n whole numbers is n(n+1)/2. ( it is the same as the first n natural numbers since the zero does not add anything) So lets say you want the sum of all the whole numbers between 3 and 10. ( I made it easy to illustrate the idea.) The sum of the whole numbers between 0 and 3 is 3(4)/2=6 The sum of the whole numbers between 0 and 10 is 10(11)/2=55 So the sum of the whole numbers between 3 and 10 is the (sum of the whole number between 0 and 10) -(sum of whole numbers between 0 and 3) which is 55-6=49 So in general, for whole numbers m and n with m
1+ 1and 1/2
Odd. For any given whole number n, the sum of it and the next whole number is 2n+1. Since 2n is obviously a multiple of 2 and therefore even, 2n+1 must be odd.
The sum is 150*151/2 = 11,325

2 mixed numbers can only be a whole when the 2 numerators add up to the number
No. Each mixed number is made of a whole number and a fraction. When you add them, you have the sum of two whole numbers and two fractions. Since each whole number must be at least ' 1 ', the sum of two whole numbers must be at least ' 2 ', and the two fractions will always make it more than ' 2 '.
No. -2 and -3 are both whole number and their sum is -5 which is smaller than both.
The three consecutive whole numbers you are looking for are 1, 2, and 3. The sum of the first two numbers, 1 + 2 = 3.

The sum of the two mixed numbers 3 1/3 and 2 2/3 is 6.

The sum of two prime numbers greater than 2 is an even number. The sum of 2 and any other prime number is an odd number.
the sum of two whole numbers is always greater than either addend* * * * *No.Consider:5 is a whole number-3 is a whole number.Their sum is 2, which is notgreater than one of the addends (5).
Odd. For any given whole number n, the sum of it and the next whole number is 2n+1. Since 2n is obviously a multiple of 2 and therefore even, 2n+1 must be odd.
There are not three prime numbers that have the sum of 3. The smallest prime number is 2. If all three prime numbers were 2, the sum would 2 + 2 + 2 = 6, so that is the smallest number that is the sum of three prime numbers.
