Joe, if I take any two whole numbers and multiply them, will my result always be a whole number ?
If your answer is yes, then the set of Whole Numbers is "closed" under multiplication.
So what do you think?
My answer is Yes, My question was
Decide whether or not the set has the closure property for multiplication.{Whole numbers} Is it yes or no, so I put yes because all number that are mult. are usally whole numbers right?
correct
when multiplied, two whole numbers ALWAYS, not usually, give a whole number as a result
To determine if the set has the closure property for multiplication, we need to check if multiplying any two elements from the set will always result in another element from the set. In this case, the set consists of whole numbers.
The closure property for multiplication means that if you multiply two whole numbers, the result should also be a whole number.
To verify this, you can take any two whole numbers and multiply them together. If the result is also a whole number, then the set has the closure property for multiplication; otherwise, it does not.
For example, let's take two whole numbers from the set, such as 5 and 3. When we multiply them together (5 * 3), we get 15, which is also a whole number.
Since this holds true for any two whole numbers from the set, we can conclude that the set of whole numbers has the closure property for multiplication.
Therefore, the answer is A) Yes.
