What exactly is a whole number?

Whole numbers are a collection of positive integers and zero that do not contain any fractions.

                       It is denoted by the letter "W," and its corresponding set of numbers are "0," "1, 2, 3,,","5,,"6,,"7,","8,"..."

It is given that Mark, Taylor, & Brian's ages are consecutive whole numbers, Mark is the youngest, and Brian is the oldest and the sum of their ages is 111.

Suppose the age of mark is x as a result the age of Taylor and brian will be x + 1 and x + 2 respectively.

From the given condition the sum of their ages is 111,

⇒x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 111

⇒3x + 3 = 111

⇒3x = 111 - 3

⇒3x = 108

⇒x = 108/3

⇒x = 36

The age of Mark, x =36

Age of Taylor, x+1 = 36+1 =37

Age of Brian, x+2 =36+2=38

Thus, if their age is in consecutive whole numbers. The age of Mark, Taylor, & Brian's ages will be  36,37, and 38 respectively.
