Explanation: -2 is an integer because integers include positive an negative numbers. It would not be a whole number or a Naural number because both of those sets only include positive numbers. Here’s a better explanation:
Natural numbers: Natural Numbers are like (1,2,3....). They only include positive numbers. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this category.
Whole Numbers: Whole Numbers are like (0,1,2,3....). They include all the natural numbers with 0. Therefore, -2 does not belong in this set.
Integers: Integers include both positive and negative numbers. They are like (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3....). Since they both have positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.
Rational Numbers: Rational Numbers include ALL the sets that were described. (Natural, Whole, Integer). Since this set also includes positive and negative numbers, -2 would belong in this set.
From reading the problem we see that y = 0 and x = 16. To find the correct equation, simple plug in the values for x and y for each equation and see which equation is true.
You would first make the fractions improper (making the numerator bigger then the denominator) in order to do that times the denominator with the whole number and add the numerator. Ex) 3*8 = 24 + 5 = 29/8 Then you would add both of the improper fractions
