Answer:

a. rational numbers

Explanation:

In general, 1.18 belongs to three sets of numbers. Firstly, it is a rational number because it can be written in the form p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero. Secondly, all rational numbers are also real numbers and all real numbers are complex numbers.

The number is between integers, so it can't be an integer or a whole number.

In general, 1.18 belongs to three sets of numbers.

Firstly, it is a rational number because it can be written in the form p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero.

1.18=\frac{118}{100}

Secondly, all rational numbers are also real numbers and all real numbers are complex numbers.

But we have been given to choose from only rational numbers, irrational numbers, natural numbers or whole numbers.

So, the only answer is rational number.

HOPE THIS HELPS !!!!!.......

It's an integer. The number can be written as a "top heavy" fraction but that is not a rational number. It is not an irrational number nor is it a natural number. Therefore it's an integer
