Damarcus says 24/6 only belongs to the set of rational numbers explain his error


Sagot :

This is false. 24/6 is equal to 4, so this is also a natural number (counting), a whole number, an integer, and a real number. Also, it's a terminating decimal if ya wanna get technical
By definition we have to:
 Rational number is any number that can be represented as the quotient of two whole numbers or, more precisely, an integer and a positive natural.
 We then have the following number:
 24/6
 Rewriting we have:
 24/6 = 4
 We observe then that we also have a natural number because it belongs to the set:
 ℕ = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...}
 Whole number because it belongs to the set:
 Z = {..., - 3, -2, -1,0, + 1, + 2, + 3, ...}
 Real number because this set covers all the numbers:
 Rational, irrational, whole and natural.
 Answer:
 
The error of Damarcus is not to rewrite the number. Therefore, he did not realize that the number does belong to other sets of numbers
