In the base three system, the digits used are 0, 1, and 2. To find the next whole number after 1122 in base three, we can increment the last digit, but if the last digit is 2, we need to carry over to the previous digit.

Starting with 1122:

Incrementing the last digit (2) by 1 gives us 1123.

However, 3 is not a valid digit in base three; it needs to be converted into a valid digit (0) and carry-over 1 to the next digit:

The last digit becomes 0, and we carry-over 1: 112 + 1 = 113.

Thus, the next whole number after 1122 in the base three system is 113.

I hope this helped!
