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

Out of -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 -> 1, 2 and 3 are the natural numbers, 0,1, 2 and 3 are the whole numbers and -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 are integers.

∴ The fraction representing the natural numbers to the total numbers = 3/4

The fraction representing the whole numbers to the total numbers = 4/7

And the required fraction representing the integers to the total numbers = 7/7
