a) 10 and -2 only
b) 10 and 2 only
c) -2 and -1.25 only
d) -2 and 1.25 only

Answer 1

From the set of numbers (10, 1.25, -2), the numbers classified as integers are 10 and -2, which makes option a) the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has provided a set of numbers (10, 1.25, -2) and asks which of them are classified as integers. An integer is any number that is not a fraction or decimal, and it can be positive, negative, or zero. Looking at the options provided:

Option a) 10 and -2 are both integers.

Option b) 10 and 2 are not both in the set (2 is not listed).

Option c) -2 is an integer, but -1.25 is not in the set and is also not an integer.

Option d) -2 is an integer, but 1.25 is not since it's a decimal.

Therefore, the correct answer is a) 10 and -2 only.
