Learning Task 1. Answer the following questions. 1. What is the smallest number that you know? Do you think it is really the smallest number? 2. What does zero stand for? 3. When you subtract 8 from 10, what is the difference? 4. How about if you subtract 10 from 8? Is there an answer? 5. Are fractions considered as integers? 6. Do you know fractions? Give some examples.
1.i do not know the smallest number beacause the numbers are infinite,they dont have any ending if compared to stories therefore even zero or 0 is not the smallest number.
2.Zero (0) stands for the origin of the positive or the negative integers therefore rhe center of all the numbers.
3.if 8 is subtracted from 10,the difference is 2 or positive 2,maybe writthen as simply 2 or -2.
4.yes,these is an answer if we subtract 10 from 8, the answer would be negative 2 written as -2.
5.no fractions are not considered as integers just like decimals.
6.it is called fractions if there is numarator and denominator in it. EXAMPLE:1/3,1/4,1/8 ETC.
