Question

1. which subset of the real numbers contains $\frac{3}{4}$?

a. integers
b. natural numbers
c. rational numbers
d. irrational numbers

Explanation:

Rational numbers are defined as numbers that can be expressed as $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q
eq 0$. The number $\frac{1}{4}$ fits this definition. Integers are whole numbers (positive, negative, zero) and natural numbers are positive whole numbers, so $\frac{1}{4}$ is not part of these subsets. Irrational numbers cannot be written as a simple fraction, which excludes $\frac{1}{4}$.

Answer:

C. rational numbers
