Answer: Integer

Step-by-step explanation: I would classify -24 as an integer for the best classification. Although -24 is a rational number, we tend to think of negative numbers as integers. Although -24 would be a rational number too, there are many rational numbers in the negatives that have decimals other than 0 so the best classification for it would be an integer.
