Which of the numbers below are whole numbers? Check all that apply.

A. [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
B. 87
C. 650
D. 442.49
E. 6282
F. 99.8

Answer :

A whole number is an integer that does not have a fractional part. We are given the following numbers:

[tex]$$
\frac{1}{10}, \quad 87, \quad 650, \quad 442.49, \quad 6282, \quad 99.8
$$[/tex]

Let’s examine each number:

1. For [tex]$\frac{1}{10}$[/tex], its value is [tex]$0.1$[/tex], which has a fractional part and is not a whole number.

2. The number [tex]$87$[/tex] is an integer with no fractional part, so it is a whole number.

3. The number [tex]$650$[/tex] is also an integer, so it is a whole number.

4. The number [tex]$442.49$[/tex] includes digits after the decimal point, meaning it has a fractional part and is not a whole number.

5. The number [tex]$6282$[/tex] is an integer, making it a whole number.

6. Finally, [tex]$99.8$[/tex] has a fractional part and is therefore not a whole number.

Thus, the whole numbers in the list are:

[tex]$$
87,\quad 650,\quad 6282
$$[/tex]

So, the correct answers are options B, C, and E.
