Question

Classify each number as an integer or not -32/4 yes or no -27/9 yes or no 5/11 yes or no -73.27 yes or no -36 yes or no

Answer 1

Answers:

• -32/4 = yes
• -27/9 = yes
• 5/11 = no
• -73.27 = no
• -36 = yes

=====================================================

Explanation:

Use long division or a calculator to find that -32/4 turns into -8. This is an integer because it's a negative whole number.

The same goes for -27/9 because it turns into -3

The value -36 is also an integer as well

Something like 5/11 is not an integer because 5/11 = 0.4545 approximately which isn't a positive whole number. Integers are either positive or negative whole numbers, or 0.

For similar reasons, we can see that -73.27 isn't an integer either because it's not a negative whole number.
