Question

0.25What type of number is -?-0.25Choose all answers that apply:Whole numberBIntegerRationalIrrational

Answer 1

• B. Integers

• C. Rational

Explanation:

→ Whole numbers are numbers that don't need to be represented with a fraction or decimal. Also, whole numbers cannot be negative.

→ Integers are whole numbers but can also be negative.

→ Rational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

Let's answer the question:-

• 
  `\sf \cfrac{0.25}{-0.25}=\boxed{\bf 1}`

Notice that 0.25/-0.25 is negative so therefore, it isn't a whole number. It's an integer because it doesn't need to be represented with a fraction or decimal. It's also a rational number because all integers are rational numbers.

Therefore, 0.25/-0.25 is an integer & a rational number!!

Answer 2

To know what type of number is the given one, we need to solve the operation first, it means we need to find the quotient:

`(0.25)/(-0.25)=-1`

It is a number divided by its negative, it means that the answer is -1.

-1 is a whole number, which is the same to integer, and also is a rational number.

It means that the correct choices are Whole number, Integer and Rational.
