Q. Which of the following describe 8? Select all that apply.Multi-select Choices:(A) natural number(B) real number(C) whole number(D) integer
Identify Natural Number: Determine if 8 is a natural number.Natural numbers are the set of positive integers starting from 1, 2, 3, and so on.Since 8 is a positive integer and it is part of the set that starts from 1, it is a natural number.
Check Real Number: Determine if 8 is a real number.Real numbers include all the rational and irrational numbers. This includes natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, fractions, and irrational numbers.Since 8 can be expressed as a fraction (18), and it is not an irrational number, it is a real number.
Verify Whole Number: Determine if 8 is a whole number.Whole numbers are the set of natural numbers including 0 (0,1,2,3,…).Since 8 is a positive integer and is part of the set that includes 0, it is a whole number.
Confirm Integer: Determine if 8 is an integer.Integers are the set of whole numbers and their negatives (…,−3,−2,−1,0,1,2,3,…).Since 8 is a whole number and whole numbers are a subset of integers, 8 is also an integer.
