Math Problem Statement

The sets of rational numbers and irrational numbers combine to make the (whole, real) numbers.

Solution

The correct answer is real numbers.

The set of real numbers is composed of both rational numbers (numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers) and irrational numbers (numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction, such as √2 or π). These two sets together form the complete set of real numbers.
