Final answer:

The number 8/5 is a rational number, a whole number, and an integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 8/5 is a rational number, a whole number, and an integer.

A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction, where the numerator and denominator are both integers. Since 8/5 is a fraction with an integer numerator and denominator, it is rational.

A whole number is any number that does not have a fractional or decimal part. Since 8/5 is equal to 1.6, it is not a whole number.

An integer is any number that can be positive, negative, or zero, and does not have a fractional or decimal part. Since 8/5 is equal to 1.6, it is not an integer.
