Asked by Cherika

Answer (3)

24/6 is 4 so it is also an integer.

24/6 is not only rational, it's also real.
PLUS ... if you carry out the division that the fraction indicates, you'll discover that 24/6 is also the same thing as ' 4 ', so it's also an integer, a natural number, and a counting number.

Damarcus incorrectly asserts that 6 24 ​ is only a rational number. In truth, it simplifies to 4, which is also an integer. All integers are included within the rational numbers, making this a broader classification.
