1. Solve x = 6/3 for x. Does the set of rational numbers include whole numbers ? Why or why not?
2. Solve y = -12/4 for y. Does the set of rational numbers include integers? Why or why not?
1. Solve x = 6/3 for x. Does the set of rational numbers include whole numbers ? Why or why not?
x = 6/3
x = 2
The set of rational numbers includes whole numbers because any whole number can be written as a/b....Example......10 can be written as 30/3
2. Solve y = -12/4 for y. Does the set of rational numbers include integers? Why or why not?
y = -12/4
y = -3
The set of rational numbers includes the integers.......for the same reason as above, any integer can be written in a/b form
