Question

Write the fraction representing the total number of natural numbers in the collection of numbers –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3. What fraction will it be for whole numbers? What fraction will it be for integers?

Answer 1

Given collection is –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3.

Natural numbers = 1, 2, 3

The fraction of natural numbers to the collection = `3/7`

Now, whole numbers = 0, 1, 2, 3

The fraction of whole numbers to the collection = `4/7`

And integers = –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3

The fraction of integers to the collection `7/7 = 1/1`
