OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is -1.7 integer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know :(

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

An integer is a number..

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

that is whole

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

So it's not C.... natural numbers are positive... So it's not A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a rational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its only rational?

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

It's not a whole number.. because it has a decimal

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

so that leaves D! :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rational & integer sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you guys. (since i can only medal 1 person ill fan all of you)

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

It said that an integer was not a number with a decimal....???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

natural numbers - {1,2,3,4,5,...} whole numbers - {0,1,2,3,4,5,...} integers - {...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...} rational numbers {-1/2,-1/3,...,0, 1/5,1/4, ..., etc} rational numbers is basically numbers that can be expressed as fraction where both numerator and denominator are integer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1.7 = -17/10

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

So only D, right??? :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.0

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

lol...you're supposed to say "righhttt" hahaha :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its still ok i still got a pass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i was right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well atleast u passes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

passed*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea. Thanks guys. It still really helped

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

I was thinking integers to begin with.. but then it gave an example where 9.75 wasn't one.. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whoever wrote this question should be fired. answer is supposed to be rational only.

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

^^ I know right lol :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But again it is extremely unlikely that you are going to use this again, so all that matter is you passing this class hahha

OpenStudy (anonymous):
