Consecutive whole numbers :

Consecutive whole numbers are whole numbers that are adjacent to one another on a given number line. An example of a consecutive whole number is 3, which is a consecutive whole number after 2; 4 is the whole number preceding 5 consecutively.
 
A whole number cannot be a decimal, a fraction, or a percent of a number.
 
1 3 / 12 menas 1 and 3 / 12.
it can be written as 1 + (3 / 12) = ( 12 + 3) / 12 = 15 / 12 = 5 / 4 = 1.25.
 
From the definition of consecutive whole numbers, There are no consecutive whole numbers  that make 1.25 using simple arithmetical operations.
