Let's analyze each number and identify the most specific set to which it belongs:

  1. 0:

    • It is a whole number and also an integer.
    • Most Specific Set: Whole Number
  2. √47:

    • This is an irrational number because 47 is not a perfect square.
    • Most Specific Set: Irrational Numbers
  3. -9:

    • This is an integer but not a natural number, whole number, or rational number based on the restrictions applied.
    • Most Specific Set: Integer
  4. 0.121212...:

    • This is a repeating decimal, which makes it a rational number.
    • Most Specific Set: Rational Number
  5. √144:

    • This simplifies to 12, which is a natural number and also a whole number and an integer.
    • Most Specific Set: Natural Number

So here are the answers for each number in order:

  1. Whole Number
  2. Irrational Numbers
  3. Integer
  4. Rational Number
  5. Natural Number
