Here’s the correct matching of number sets or types with their corresponding categories:

  1. Integers: Rational whole numbers and their opposites
    (This includes negative whole numbers, zero, and positive whole numbers.)

  2. {1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32}: Rational ratios with a denominator ≠ 1
    (These are all fractions where the denominator is not 1.)

  3. Whole numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ....}: Rational whole numbers and their opposites
    (Whole numbers start at 0 and count up, and their opposites are negative integers.)

  4. Non-Repeating decimal (.44454647....): Irrational decimals
    (However, this is a flawed designation since non-repeating decimals are usually considered irrational; the provided value seems to be incorrectly represented.)

  5. Repeating decimals (0.454545...): Rational decimals
    (Repeating decimals can be expressed as fractions, thus they are rational.)

So, the final matches are:

  • Integers: Rational whole numbers and their opposites
  • {1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32}: Rational ratios with a denominator ≠ 1
  • Whole numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ....}: Rational whole numbers and their opposites
  • Non-Repeating decimal (.44454647....): Irrational decimals (with note regarding context)
  • Repeating decimals (0.454545...): Rational decimals
