Whole numbers are non-negative number without decimal points.
6 pairs of whole numbers have a sum of 12
Let the pair be x and y.
Such that:
[tex]x + y = 12[/tex]
[tex]x,y\ge 0[/tex]
The number of pairs (p) of whole number that have a sum of 12 is calculated as follows:
[tex]p = \frac{n}{r}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]n = 12[/tex] --- the sum
[tex]r = 2[/tex] -- a pair
So, we have:
[tex]p = \frac{12}2[/tex]
[tex]p = 6[/tex]
Hence, 6 pairs of whole numbers have a sum of 12
