i think only `b` is correct because when you subtract two rational numbers, you always get back a rational number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats what i said i said b and a
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
however when you subtract two odd natural numbers, you never get an odd natural number.. similarly other options also dont work
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ooh so whats the answer
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
only B
