ten numbers between 15 and 25
or ten numbers from 15 to 25 which one is correct?
You would never say there are 10 numbers between 15 and 25 as there are only 9 integers:
16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24.
"9 integers between 15 and 25
11 integers from 15 to 25" I agree with you on the first one, but for the second I believe it is impossible to say, without the addition of a qualifier (either inclusive or exclusive).
Well, if you count from 1 to 10, you get 10 integers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
So why would counting from 15 to 25 be any different or require an additional qualifier? 11 integers: 15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 |
