He was in the whale Three days and three nights. Jonah 1:17
Answer:
Due to some unfortunate translations in the King James Bible ... the originally inspired wording doesn't say Jonah was swallowed by a "whale." It says:
"...Now the Lord had PREPARED A GREAT FISH to swallow up Johah..." (Jonah 1:17).
Even Matthew's KJV use of the word "whale" is originally inspired as: "ketos" (kay'-tos) - "a huge fish."
So, while it could possibly have been a whale... it may not have been. It says that God "specially prepared" a great fish. This may have been a whale, a specially prepared accomodating fish of some other variety... or a very special great fish that never existed before (or since).

Jonah's Prayer and Deliverance17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Incidentally, this is the only sign Jesus gave the crowd at that time of His Messiahship:
Matthew 12:39-40New King James Version (NKJV)
39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
A full 72 hours. No matter how one choses to count, there are not 3 days and 3 nights or 72 hours between 3 PM Friday to early dark hours of Sunday morning.
