Find the Predecessor and Successor: Numbers Adjacent to 2000

Question

Select both the successor and predecessor of the number 2000:

,2000, \Box,2000,\Box

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to determine the predecessor of 2000. The predecessor is found by subtracting 1 from the number:

  • Predecessor: 20001=1999 2000 - 1 = 1999

Next, we find the successor of 2000. The successor is calculated by adding 1 to the number:

  • Successor: 2000+1=2001 2000 + 1 = 2001

Thus, the predecessor of 2000 is 1999, and the successor is 2001.

Therefore, the sequence with the number 2000 and its consecutive neighbors is given by:

1999,2000,2001 1999,2000,2001

Comparing this with the provided choices, we can confirm that the correct choice is : 1999,2001 1999,2001 .

Answer

1999,2001 1999,2001
