Are there the same amount of numbers in counting numbers as whole numbers?

Curiously enough, yes.
For each non-zero counting number, N, there are two whole numbers, -N and N. And then there is zero. So the number of whole numbers is approximately double the number of counting numbers. However, the count of such numbers - the cardinality of both of the two sets - is "countably infinite" and the property of this infinite value is that multiplying it by any number still gives the same infinity!

Are there the same amount of whole numbers as counting numbers?
no whole #'s include 0 and counting #'s don't include 0
How are counting and whole numbers the same?
They are not. Counting numbers are a proper subset of whole numbers. Negative integers (-1, -2, -3 etc) are whole numbers but they are not counting numbers.
Why does counting numbers and whole numbers desame?
Apart from poor spelling, this question is based on a fallacy. Counting numbers and whole numbers are NOT the same. For example, -3 is a whole number but it is not a counting number.
How is counting with fractions the same as counting with whole numbers?
You don't "count with fractions". Counting is done with natural numbers.
What is the relationship between counting numbers whole numbers integers and rational numbers?
Counting numbers are a proper subset of whole numbers which are the same as integers which are a proper subset of rational numbers.
What is whole number but not a counting number?
There are no whole numbers that are not also counting numbers. Both terms mean the same subset of numbers: positive integers greater than zero. Some people consider zero to be a whole number but not a counting number, because you can't "count" zero.
Which of the following is not the same set of numbers A) counting numbers (B) positive integers (C) whole numbers (D) natural numbers?
C. whole numbers can be negative and don't match the other sets
What is the natural and counting number?
Counting numbers are positive integers 1, 2, 3 and so on. There is some disagreement whether natural numbers are the same thing or whether they include zero like whole numbers.
What is the difference a whole number and a counting number?
They are the same except that zero is included in the "whole numbers". Actually, not everyone agrees on that definition, but it's the usual one.
How do you compare two whole numbers that do not have the same amount of digits?
u cant
Is 25 Always the Same Amount?
As long as you are counting in base 10 numbers, yes.
Does the mode of a list of whole numbers must be a whole number?
Yes. It must be at least one of the numbers on the list. If there is the same amount of each number, then there is no mode.
