Answer 1

Answer:

Option C: 74 is both a whole number and a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is defined as a number which can be written as a fraction of two integers, an integer, a whole number and a natural number. The integer could be positive or negative.

Examples include -1/4, 1/2, 12

So it's obvious that the given number of 74 is a rational number.

Now, a whole number is simply a non - negative integer.

An integer is a number that is not a fraction.

Thus, examples of whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4...

So 74 is clearly a whole number.

Therefore, we can conclude that 74 is both a whole number and a rational number.
