Question

circle the whole numbers. explain your reasoning.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall whole number definition

Whole numbers are non - negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...), no fractions/decimals (unless decimal is .000... and equals integer).

Step2: Analyze each number

• 9: Integer ≥0, so whole number.
• $\frac{4}{4}$: Simplifies to 1 (integer ≥0), whole number.
• 1.00000: Equals 1 (integer ≥0), whole number.

Answer:

Circle 9, $\boldsymbol{\frac{4}{4}}$, and 1.00000. All are whole numbers: 9 is integer ≥0; $\frac{4}{4}=1$ (integer ≥0); 1.00000 = 1 (integer ≥0).
