Answer:

Explanation:

Rational numbers come in 3 different forms; integers, fractions and terminating or recurring decimals such as

1

3

.

Irrational numbers are quite 'messy'. They can't be written as fractions, they are never-ending, non-repeating decimals. An example of this is the value of

π

.

A whole number can be called an integer and is either a positive or negative number, or zero. An example of this is

0

,

1

and

365

.
