Question: 1 / 400

Which type of number contains both an integer part and a fractional part?

Fraction

Whole number

Mixed number

The correct answer is a mixed number. A mixed number is defined as a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. This means that it contains both an integer part (the whole number) and a fractional part (the fraction itself). For example, the mixed number 3 1/2 consists of the whole number 3 and the fractional part 1/2.

In contrast, a fraction represents a part of a whole but does not include a whole number component by itself as a mixed number does. Whole numbers are non-negative integers, including zero, and do not have any fractional parts. Natural numbers are the set of positive integers typically used for counting and also lack any fractional components. Therefore, the only option that encompasses both an integer part and a fractional part is the mixed number.
