Math Problem Statement
Tell which set or sets the number below belongs to: natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, or real numbers. four sevenths 4 7 Question content area bottom Part 1 Select all sets in which the number four sevenths 4 7 is an element. A. whole numbers B. real numbers C. irrational numbers D. natural numbers E. rational numbers F. integers
Solution
The number 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 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 of two integers, where and are integers and . Since is a fraction with integers in the numerator and denominator, it is a rational number.
does not belong to the following sets:
-
A. Whole numbers: Whole numbers are non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...). is not a whole number.
-
C. Irrational numbers: Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Since is a fraction of two integers, it is not irrational.
-
D. Natural numbers: Natural numbers are positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...). 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, ...). is not an integer.
Thus, belongs to sets B. Real numbers and E. Rational numbers.
