which of the following is true about -9 is it whole number but not an intergers it is an integer but not a rational number it is both an intergers and a whole number it is an intergers but not a whole number

Answer 1

The statement "it is an integer but not a whole number" is true.

Here's a breakdown:

• Whole numbers are non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
• Integers include both positive and negative whole numbers, as well as zero (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
• Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers.

Since -9 is a negative integer, it is not a whole number but is a part of the integers. It's also a rational number because it can be expressed as -9/1.
