Question

Choose the number below that fits into all the following number sets: natural number, whole number, and integer(1 point) Responses −58 negative 5 eighths 9n−4n 9 n minus 4 n 12 12 6.4

Answer 1

The number that fits into all the specified sets—natural numbers, whole numbers, and integers—is **12**.

Here's the reasoning:
- **Natural numbers** are the positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...), and 12 is a natural number.
- **Whole numbers** include all natural numbers and zero (0, 1, 2, 3, ...), and 12 is also a whole number.
- **Integers** include all whole numbers and their negative counterparts (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...), so 12 is also an integer.

The other options do not fit into all three categories.
