The number of stops a bus makes on a certain day is represented by the variable s. Which set of numbers best describes the value of the variable? A. irrational numbers B. whole numbers C. natural numbers D. integers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry its b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As B and D can be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the bus does not make a negative number of stops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u wouldnt say 0 stops though, of course the bus will make 1+ stops so thats why its whole numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well thats all ihave to say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whole numbers may refer to positive integers, (1,2,3,...) non-negative integers ( i.e 0,1,2,3,....) and all integers ( 0,1,2,3,....., and their negative counterparts)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hope that helped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And there is nothing wrong in saying that the bus made 0 stops, however there is in saying it made for instance -3 stops, whole numbers include both negative integers, positive integers and 0, Natural include 0,1,2,3,...., and integers can be negative

The answer is C. Natural Numbers
