12/5 = 2.4

whole numbers are set of natural number including zero. It does not include decimals. Thus, 12/5 is not a whole number

Integers are are the set of whole numbers including all the negative natural numbers. It does not include fractions. Thus, 12/5 is not a whole number

Rational numbers is a set of fractions where the denominators and numerators are integers. Since 5 and 12 are integers, 12/5 is a rational number

Irrational numbers are numbers that numbers that cannot be written on the number line. They include square root of 2, pi. etc. Thus, 12/5 is not an irrational number

Real numbers is the set of all rational and irrational numbers. Thus, 12/5 is a real number
