OpenStudy (anonymous):

Irrational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are a few. DO you understand what each of those terms mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

real numbers are numbers that 'makes sense'. 4/0 is not real and square root of negative numbers are not real. And anything that has 'i' is not real as i = square root -1. so -7/8 is real

OpenStudy (anonymous):

integers are numbers that dont have fractions/decimals. i.e. 1,2,3,-1,-2,-3. -7/8 is not an integer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

irrational numbers are fractions that when converted to decimals are infinitely long. 1/3 is irrational as it gives 0.3333333... (infinitely long). 7/8 gives 0.875 which is not infinitely long

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -7/8 is rational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whole numbers and integers are same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 is a whole number/integer too
