Question

What is the difference between the successor and predecessor of 3?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B

2

The successor of a number is one more than that number.

So, the successor of 3 = 3 + 1 = 4.

The predecessor of a number is one less than that number.

So, the predecessor of 3 = 3 - 1 = 2.

$\therefore$ The difference between the successor and the predecessor of 3 = 4 - 2 = 2
