Final answer:
The number -24/5 is not an integer because it represents the decimal -4.8, which is not a whole number.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is option b. No. An integer is defined as a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero, but it cannot be a fraction or a decimal. The number -24/5 is a negative fraction representing -4.8 when converted into decimal form.
Because it is not a whole number, -24/5 cannot be classified as an integer. In general, for any fraction a/b where b is not equal to 1, the result is not an integer unless a is a multiple of b.
The correct answer is option b. No. An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. It does not have any fractional or decimal parts. -24/5 is a fraction, which means it is not an integer.
To determine if a fraction is an integer, you need to check if the numerator (top number) is divisible evenly by the denominator (bottom number). In this case, -24 is not divisible evenly by 5, so -24/5 is not an integer.
