Question

Which number belongs in the integers area on the Venn diagram?

Answer 1

Answer:

-19      - Integer

-5       - Integer

12       - Whole Number

14.25 - Rational Numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Whole numbers = {0, 1 , 2, 3, . . . }

They are the the natural numbers and zero.

Integers: {. . . , -3, -2, -1, 0 , 1, 2, 3, . . . }

Rational Numbers: These are the numbers that can be written in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ where $q \ne 0$.

Note that All Whole numbers are integers.

All Integers are in turn Rational Numbers. (When q = 1, we get all the integers.).

In the given problem, we have: -19 Negative number. It should be an Integer.

Similarly -5 is also an integer.

12 is a whole number. Note that it is also an integer. Consequently, a rational number.

And 14.25 = $\frac{1425}{100}$ is in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$. So it is a rational number.
