Question

which of the following are whole numbers?
7
2
-10
0

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of whole numbers

Whole numbers are the set of non - negative integers, which includes \(0, 1, 2, 3,\cdots\). Negative numbers are not whole numbers.

Step2: Analyze each number

• For \(7\): \(7\) is a positive integer, so it is a whole number.
• For \(2\): \(2\) is a positive integer, so it is a whole number.
• For \(- 10\): \(-10\) is a negative number, so it is not a whole number.
• For \(0\): \(0\) is a whole number as it is a non - negative integer.

Answer:

The whole numbers among the given numbers are \(7\), \(2\), and \(0\). The number \(-10\) is not a whole number. So the correct selections should be \(7\), \(2\), and \(0\) (the checkbox for \(-10\) should be unchecked).
