The number \( \frac{4}{5} \) is classified as follows:

  1. Natural Numbers: No, it is not a natural number because natural numbers are positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...).
  2. Whole Numbers: No, as it is not a whole number (which includes 0 and all positive integers).
  3. Integers: No, it is not an integer because integers are whole numbers including negative numbers (-1, -2, ...).
  4. Rational Numbers: Yes, because it can be expressed as a fraction of two integers (4 and 5).
  5. Irrational Numbers: No, because it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (therefore it is not irrational).
  6. Real Numbers: Yes, because all rational numbers are real numbers.
  7. Imaginary Numbers: No, it is not imaginary.
  8. Complex Numbers: Yes, because all real numbers are also complex numbers (as they can be represented with an imaginary part of zero).

The correct classifications for \( \frac{4}{5} \) are:

  • Rational
  • Real
  • Complex
