Algebra.Com's Answer #349156 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Thirteen (13) is a counting number, the kind you \"naturally\" think about, even in kindergarden or first grade, so it is a natural number. \n" ); document.write( "All natural numbers are whole numbers, and everyone agrees that zero is also a whole number. (Many think zero is not a natural number, but not everyone agrees on that, so agree with your teacher and/or textbook as needed). \n" ); document.write( "All whole/natural numbers are integers. (There are some integers that do not come to you as naturally, like the negative integers, which do not count as natural or whole) \n" ); document.write( "All integers are rational, because you can write them as ratios (fractions). The simplest way to write 13 as a fraction is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "All rational numbers are real numbers, but that goes beyond your question. \n" ); document.write( " |
