Name the sets of numbers to which each number belongs.

3.5

• The set $\left\{1,2,3,4,5,...\right\}$is called the set of natural number.
• The set $\left\{0,1,2,3,4,5,...\right\}$is called the set of whole number.
• The set $\left\{-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...\right\}$is called the set of integer number.

• The set of rational number has numbers in the ratio form $\frac{m}{n}$, where m and n are integers and n is non-zero. The decimal form of a rational number is either a terminating or repeating decimal.

• A real number that is not rational is irrational. The decimal form of an irrational number is neither terminating nor rational.
• Combine sets of rational and irrational number is real number.

Following vein diagram shows relationship between different sets

Where, the symbols denote

N- Natural number

W- Whole number

Z- Integers

Q- Rational number

I- Irrational number

R- Real numbers

As, 3.5 is a rational number. So, using above venn diagram, it is a real number also.

Thus, 3.5 belongs to the sets of rational number and real number.
