What can you say about positive integers and negative integers?

Positive numbers are any numbers greater than zero.For example: 1, 2.9, 3.14159, 40000, and 0.0005.Negative numbers are any number less than zero.For Example: -1, -2.9, -3.14159, -40000, and -0.0005.For each positive number, there is a negative number that is its opposite. We write the opposite of a positive number with a negative or minus sign in front of the number, and call these numbers negative numbers.We do not consider zero to be a positive or negative number.The sum of any number and its (negative) opposite is 0.The sign of a number refers to whether the number is positive or negative.For example: The sign of -3.2 is negative, and the sign of 442 is positive.We may also write positive and negative numbers as fractions or mixed numbers.

Why a mixed number is not in the set of integers or whole numbers?

A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction, and it cannot be represented as a single integer or whole number. In the set of integers, only whole numbers and their negative counterparts are included. Similarly, in the set of whole numbers, only positive integers and zero are included. Mixed numbers do not fit into either of these categories.
