Answer 1

Look up the definitions and search for examples of these types of numbers. Here are some examples that might help get you started.

real = 2

rational = 1/3 (although it goes .3333, it repeats indicating rationlaity)

irrationsl = π (3.1415... no matter how far you go the numbers don't start repeating so it is irrational)

integer = -1 (whole numbers basically except it includes negative numbers)

whole number = 2 (numbers that aren't negative and don't have fractional parts or aren't fractions)
