Answer:

-3 is not a whole number.

Whole number:

  • Starts from zero.
  • Doesn't include negative integers.
  • {0,1,2,3,4,5,6.....}

-3 is an integer, a negative integer.

Integer:

  • Subset of:
  • Negative integers
  • Zero
  • Natural number, Whole number(positive integers as a whole)

Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤
