The answer depends on the context for opposition: the additive inverses are whole numbers but the multiplicative inverses are not (except in the case of -1 and +1).

What is a whole number and their opposite?

Well to correct your grammar first of all so I can read the question more understandably, what is a whole number and its opposite. A whole number is a number greater than 0. The opposite of a whole number is a negative number. A negative number is a number below 0, like you see on thermometers when its really cold sometimes. Here is a very important thing that you need to know. If you don't know this you will get it wrong on a test. 0 is not a negative number or whole number. It is just known as a place holder on the number line.

Why is the opposite of a decimal a whole?

The question is based on a false premise: the opposite of a decimal is not a whole. A decimal is simply a way of representing a number is such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. Therefore 4 is a decimal, 2.75 is a decimal. There are different ways of defining opposite. The additive opposites of the two numbers are -4 and -2.75 so one of them is a whole number, the other is not. The multiplicative opposites are 0.25 and 0.3636... so neither of them are whole.
