The number that fits into all the following sets: natural number, whole number, and integer is **12**.
Here's the reasoning:
- **Natural numbers**: These are positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...). 12 is a natural number.
- **Whole numbers**: These are natural numbers plus 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...). 12 is a whole number.
- **Integers**: These include all whole numbers and their negative counterparts (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...). 12 is an integer.
The other options do not fit all these categories:
- 9n - 4n simplifies to 5n, which depends on the value of n.
- -5/8 is not a natural number, whole number, or integer.
- 6.4 is not an integer.
Thus, **12** is the correct choice.
