Question

Is 2 1/2 a whole and natural number?​

Answer 1

No, this is a mixed fraction, and thus it has value

`2(1)/(2)=2+(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)=1.5`

This number has decimal digits, so it's not a whole nor a natural number (they don't have decimal digits).

Answer 2

2 1/2 is not a whole and natural number. It is a rational number.
