To determine which sets of numbers each value belongs to, we need to understand the definitions of these sets.
1. Natural numbers are the set of positive whole numbers starting from 1 (1, 2, 3, 4, ...).
2. Whole numbers are the set of natural numbers along with 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
3. Integers are the set of whole numbers and their negatives (... -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
4. Rational numbers are any numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
Let's go through each value:
1. "The tundra covers about 15% of Earth's surface."
- This value does not belong to any of the above sets of numbers. It is a percentage and not a numerical value.
2. "The average annual temperature is −18°Fahrenheit."
- This value belongs to the set of integers because it is a negative whole number.
3. "There are 48 varieties of land mammals found in the tundra region."
- This value belongs to the set of natural numbers as it is a positive whole number.
4. "The permafrost is a layer of frozen soil that is located below Earth's surface at −1476 feet."
- This value belongs to the set of integers because it is a negative whole number.
5. "During the summer months, the low temperature averages about 37.4°F."
- This value belongs to the set of rational numbers as it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (374/10).
By examining the properties of each value, we can determine which sets of numbers they belong to.
