Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is ambiguous!

As the answer is that, 3 is a whole number, an integer, a rational number.

Whole number

The number which starts from 0 and ends (or continues) till infinity, those number are called whole numbers.

$0, 1, 2, 3, 4...\infty$ are all whole numbers.

So, we know, 3 is bigger than 0 and smaller than $\infty \; \therefore 3$ is a whole number.

Integers

A number which has either a positive or a negative sign and can be written without a fractional component is known as an integer.

1, -3, -6, 3 are all integers.

Here, 3 has a positive sign.

Therefore, 3 is an integer.

Rational numbers

The number which can be expressed in the form of$\frac{p}{q} where q\neq0 are\ called\ rational\ numbers\\.$

$2, \frac{3}{5}, 6.55 are\ rational\ numbers.$

Irrational numbers

The numbers which can't be expressed in$\frac{p}{q}$ where $q\neq$or you can say, the numbers opposite of rationals are irrational.

Since, 3=$\frac{3}{1}$ and since, the denominator isn't 0, hence this number isn't irrational.
