answer gets medal and fan + testomonial!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Tell me always true or false for each statement: (rational number) \(\large\color{slate}{ \div }\) (rational number) = (rational number) (integer) \(\large\color{slate}{ \div }\) (integer) = (integer) (rational number) \(\large\color{slate}{ \div }\) (rational number) = (rational number) (whole number) \(\large\color{slate}{ \div }\) (whole number) = (whole number)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Sorry I wrote the statement with a rational number twice

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and the last set, to be closed under division would mean that dividing any 2 numbers by each other would give the remaining number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

number 3

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

about whole numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused now

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

1. (rational number) \(\large\color{slate}{ \div }\) (rational number) = (rational number) 2. (integer) \(\large\color{slate}{ \div }\) (integer) = (integer) 3. (whole number) \(\large\color{slate}{ \div }\) (whole number) = (whole number)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

which of these statement is false and which is true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 is wrong and 2 is right

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{slate}{ 7\div 4=~{\rm integer~~~~~~?} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Are you sure number 2 is right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, 2 is false.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

how about statement 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok 2 is wrong fyi this is a multi-answer

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, statements 2 and 3 are false (i.e. not always true) , correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

How about statement 1, about rational numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Good.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So so far we have excluded option D & B and included option A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c is true

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So you understand what it means to be closed under division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes tyhx

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

okay, how about a set {-1, 0 , 1}

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Dividing any 2 numbers gives you the remaining one? is there a case when this is incorrect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its true

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{slate}{ (-1)\div (1)=~{\rm 0} }\) ?
