Question

identify the following numbers and match them with the correct answer.
drag & drop the answer
rational number
whole number
irrational number

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze -4π

π is an irrational number (≈3.14159... and non - repeating, non - terminating). When we multiply an irrational number by a non - zero integer (-4 here), the result is still irrational. So -4π is an irrational number.

Step2: Analyze 5.41

5.41 can be written as $\frac{541}{100}$, which is a fraction of two integers. By the definition of rational numbers (numbers that can be expressed as $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p,q\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $q
eq0$), 5.41 is a rational number.

Step3: Analyze 0

Whole numbers include 0, 1, 2, 3,.... Also, 0 can be written as $\frac{0}{1}$, so it is also a rational number. So 0 is a whole number (and also a rational number).

Answer:

-4π → Irrational number
5.41 → Rational number
0 → Whole number (and Rational number)
