Which one of the following is a whole number but not a natural number?(1 point) Responses -12 -12 22 22 0 0 3

Answer 1

A whole number is a non-negative integer, which includes zero and all positive integers. Natural numbers are the set of positive integers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...), so they do not include zero.

From the options given:

• -12 is not a whole number (it's a negative integer).
• 22 is a natural number (and also a whole number).
• 0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
• 3 is a natural number (and also a whole number).

Therefore, the answer is 0, as it is a whole number but not a natural number.

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. To clarify:

Whole numbers include 0 and all positive integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...), while natural numbers are typically defined as the positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...).

So, among your options:

• -12: Not a whole number
• 22: Whole number and natural number
• 0: Whole number but not a natural number
• 3: Whole number and natural number

The only option that is a whole number but not a natural number is indeed 0.
