Question

Write the fraction representing the total number of natural numbers in the collection of numbers –3, – 2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3. What fraction will it be for whole numbers? What fraction will it be for integers?

Answer 1

Given collection is –3, – 2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3.

Natural numbers = 1, 2, 3

The fraction of natural numbers to the collection = `3/7`

Now, whole numbers = 0, 1, 2, 3

The fraction of whole numbers to the collection = `4/7`
and integers = – 3, – 2, – 1, 0, 1, 2, 3

The fraction of integers to the collection `7/7 = 1/1`
