Answer 1

The number 1.18 belongs to the following sets of numbers:

• Rational Numbers: Since it can be expressed as a fraction (e.g., 1.18 = 118/100).

It does not belong to:

• Natural Numbers: These are the set of positive integers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, ...).

• Whole Numbers: These are the set of non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).

• Integers: These are the set of whole numbers and their negatives (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).

Therefore, the correct answer is that 1.18 belongs to the set of rational numbers only.
