Need help!!!! 2.68

[Annoying]

Is 2.68 a Real number, whole number, natural number, integer, or rational number???

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

An integer is a whole number. But it's not a whole number, because it has a decimal.

And what do you mean, is it a real number? It's not a mirage.

[Annoying]

So what is 2.68??

[Camilamazed]

It's my house number

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Less than 3. I don't know, a decimal.

[Tired_Of_You]

Nothing, you watched too much TV and they entered that in your head. Don't believe what they say!

[Annoying]

BTW - real numbers are all rational and irrational numbers; any number that can be written using decimals.

So then 2.68 would be a real number correct??

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Uhh.. I suppose so.

Why do you need to know, anyway?

[Annoying]

It was on an assignment and I wasn't sure of the question. Until i came here!

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Pay more attention in class!

Heh.

[ThatOneGuy123]

if refering to time its 2.6 seconds if in numbers its either money or just decimals

[Annoying]

Hey you didn't know it!

[Trip Boy]

Try posting on some math site, they usual jump on the opportunity to solve nerd shit.

Let's see how many times people will reply with the answer that he found out on the first page.

[BlackCat]

It's a rational number. Which is a sub-category of real numbers.
How old are you?

[Endymion]

it's rational, it's real, it's surreal, it's.. um... ok, i guess that's all the common sets of numbers it's part of.

It's a real number.


Process of elimination:
- Not whole because of decimal.
- Not natural because a natural number is any of the numbers 0,1,2,3,4, that can be used to count the members of a set; the nonnegative integers.
- Not integer because of decimal.
- not a rational number because a rational number is any real number of the form a/b, where a and b are integers and b is not zero.

Hope that helps. :cool:


EDIT: I know it's already been answered but i'm right and i just wanted to answer anyway.

It's a good ol' floating point value http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lol.gif
