Question 51429: Explain why the real numbers would not be the most reasonable domain for the number of nails in a barrel of roofing nails.
Answer by hayek(51)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Nails are countable things, so the most reasonable domain would be positive integers.
Real numbers include fractions, irrational numbers, and negative numbers, so the set of real numbers is broader than you need for the items you are describing (i.e. nails in a barrel).
