Answer:
6 and
7

Explanation:

The Whole numbers Set contains the positive numbers and zero with no fractional part and with no decimal part.

Rational numbers are those numbers that can be written as a fraction, in this form:


(a)/(b)

Where "a" is the numerator and "b" is the denominator. Both numbers are integers.

Then, given the following fraction:


(31)/(5)

You can express it as a decimal number by dividing the numerator 31 by the denominator 5:


(31)/(5)=6.2

Based on the definition of Whole numbers, you can identify that:


6<6.2<7

Therefore, the given fractio lies between the following Whole numbers:


6 and
7
