To answer the question, we need to understand the mathematical concept of a predecessor. In mathematics, the predecessor of a number is the number that comes immediately before it on the number line.
For example, when we count forward, we go from 98 to 99 to 100. If we count backward, we go from 100 to 99 to 98. Thus, the number immediately before 100 is 99. This makes 99 the predecessor of 100.
So, the statement "The predecessor of 100 is 99" is True .
This concept helps in understanding number sequences and is foundational to arithmetic operations.
