Question

A Venn diagram. A large box is labeled rational numbers. A box inside the rational numbers box is labeled integers. A box inside the integers box is labeled whole numbers. Which sets of numbers contain whole numbers? Check all that apply. Negative 2 and StartFraction 5 Over 6 EndFraction, negative 54, negative 4, negative 57 Negative 89, 79, StartFraction 6 Over 9 EndFraction, negative 19 Two-thirds, StartFraction 2 Over 4 EndFraction, 0, StartFraction 2 Over 7 EndFraction Negative 3, negative 2, negative 7, negative 8 StartFraction 1 Over 8 EndFraction, Negative StartFraction 4 Over 8 EndFraction, 1 and StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction, negative StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction

Answer 1

Sets B and C contain whole numbers

Answer 2

• Sets B and C contain whole numbers

Explanation:

Whole numbers include zero and all positive integers

Looking at the sets below, we can see that:

A. Negative 2 and StartFraction 5 Over 6 EndFraction, negative 54, negative 4, negative 57

• No whole numbers, all negatives or fractions

B. Negative 89, 79, StartFraction 6 Over 9 EndFraction, negative 19

• 79 is a whole number, the rest are fractions and negatives

C. Two-thirds, StartFraction 2 Over 4 EndFraction, 0, StartFraction 2 Over 7 EndFraction

• 0 is a whole number, the rest are fractions

D. Negative 3, negative 2, negative 7, negative 8

• No whole numbers, all negative integers

E. StartFraction 1 Over 8 EndFraction, Negative StartFraction 4 Over 8 EndFraction, 1 and StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction, negative StartFraction 7 Over 8 EndFraction

• No whole numbers, all fractions
