A. whole numbers B. real numbers C. irrational numbers D. natural numbers E. rational numbers F. integers

Solution

The number 47\frac{4}{7} belongs to the following sets:

  • B. Real numbers: All numbers that can be represented on the number line, including both rational and irrational numbers, are real numbers. Since 47\frac{4}{7} can be represented on the number line, it is a real number.

  • E. Rational numbers: Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction pq\frac{p}{q} of two integers, where pp and qq are integers and q0q \neq 0. Since 47\frac{4}{7} is a fraction with integers in the numerator and denominator, it is a rational number.

47\frac{4}{7} does not belong to the following sets:

  • A. Whole numbers: Whole numbers are non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...). 47\frac{4}{7} is not a whole number.

  • C. Irrational numbers: Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Since 47\frac{4}{7} is a fraction of two integers, it is not irrational.

  • D. Natural numbers: Natural numbers are positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...). 47\frac{4}{7} is not a natural number.

  • F. Integers: Integers include all whole numbers, both positive and negative, as well as zero (..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...). 47\frac{4}{7} is not an integer.

Thus, 47\frac{4}{7} belongs to sets B. Real numbers and E. Rational numbers.
