Answer:

Natural numbers < Whole Numbers < Rational numbers < Integers

Explanation:

Natural numbers are the numbers that are called counting numbers.They are numbers you can count. But Zero is not among them. Basically, Natural numbers are numbers you can count with the exception of Zero.

Whole numbers are a bit more than natural numbers. Unlike Natural numbers, whole numbers contain Zero. As a result, we can say they're counting numbers Zero inclusive.

Rational numbers are numbers that are written as ratio. They can be written as a fraction, but then, both the denominator and the numerator would have to be whole numbers.

Integers are whole numbers including negative numbers. Remember, whole numbers are an extension of natural numbers? Well then, Integers are an extension of Whole numbers.
