    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because rational numbers are defined as numbers that can be expressed as a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are both integers. Decimals, whole numbers, and natural numbers can all be expressed as fractions, therefore they can all be considered rational numbers.

    Rate this question:

    What is the MOST SPECIFIC name for the numbers listed below:...-2,-1,0,1,2...

    Correct Answer
    integers, integer, integer number, Integer, INTEGER, INTEGERS
    Explanation
    The given numbers -2, -1, 0, 1, 2... are all examples of integers. Integers are whole numbers (positive, negative, or zero) that do not have any fractional or decimal part. They can be represented by the set of numbers {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}. Therefore, the most specific name for these numbers is "integers".

    Explanation
    The number -4 is an integer because it is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. It is not a natural number because natural numbers are only positive whole numbers starting from 1.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    How do you say this number?  -6(Pick one)

    • Minus 6

    • Negative 6

    • Negative minus 6

    Correct Answer
    A. Negative 6

    Explanation
    Whole numbers are the set of numbers that include all positive integers, zero, and their negatives. In this case, the numbers 0 and 4 are whole numbers because they are both positive integers and their negatives (-4 and -8.6) are not included in the given options. Therefore, the correct answers are 0 and 4.
