Question

derermine if the whole numbers exhibit the closure property for the indicated ooerations or not. if not provide a counter example to justify your conclusion

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Addition:

If we add two or more whole numbers, the result will be also a whole number.

Hence, they exhibit the closure property.

Subtraction:

If we subtracti two or more whole numbers, the result will not necessarily be a whole number. For example, subtraction 5-10 give us -5 --> Not a whole number. [NOT CLOSURE PROPERTY]

Division:

The division of two whole numbers could not necessarily be a whole number, as for instance, 6/12 = 1/2 [NOT CLOSURE PROPERTY]
