By simplifying the number given which is 8 2/3, we get an improper fraction of 26/3. Also, when we try to divide 26 by 3, we get an answer of 8.6667, with 6 as a repeating number after the decimal place. Therefore, this number is an example of real and rational number. Thus the answer is the second choice.

Answer:
5 gifts
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information:
- Cost of one gift = $4
- Total money = $50
- Money left after purchasing gifts = at least $28
Let x = greatest number of gifts James can buy
Create an inequality with the given information:
⇒ 50 - 4x ≥ 28
<u>Solve the inequality</u>
Add 4x to both sides:
⇒ 50 - 4x + 4x ≥ 28 + 4x
⇒ 50 ≥ 28 + 4x
Subtract 28 from both sides:
⇒ 50 - 28 ≥ 28 + 4x - 28
⇒ 22 ≥ 4x
Divide both sides by 4
⇒ 22 ÷ 4 ≥ 4x ÷ 4
⇒ 5.5 ≥ x
⇒ x ≤ 5.5
We must <u>round down</u> to 5 as if James buys 6 gifts, he will only have $26 remaining. Therefore, the greatest number of gifts James can buy is <u>5 gifts</u>.
