Is the statement true if a number is not a natural number then it is not a whole number true?

That depends - unfortunately, "whole number" is ambiguous, and can mean different things to different people. If by "whole number" you mean "natural number", then both are of course the same. If you choose to include negative numbers in your definition of "whole number", i.e., whole numbers = integers, then the two sets are not the same, and the proposed statement is false.

True or false Are all whole numbers are natural numbers?
It depends, many people do count 0 as a natural number, but MOST do not. So for most HS text book, the answer is NO, all whole numbers are not natural numbers and the reason is 0 is a whole number but not a natural number.
Which is a true statement about number 1?
The integer 1 is a whole number that is neither a prime or a composite number because it has only one factor which is itself.
Which statement is true when a whole number is multiplied by an improper fraction?
The only thing which is clear is that the product will be a rational number.It can be a whole number or a mixed number;It can be larger than, equal to or smaller than the mixed number;It can be larger than or smaller than the whole number.
What is a number that produces a true statement?
An example of a true statement in algebra is x=x
Is the sum of two natural numbers always a natural number?
Yes. You know this is true because you learned a process-- an "algorithm"--for adding two numbers together, and if you start with two whole numbers, the result is also a whole number.
Is natural number is also a whole number true or false?
It is true.

Is the product of a fraction less than 1 and a whole number greater than less than the whole number?
No, the statement is not necessarily true.
Is the counting numbers are also called natural numbers is it true or false?
There is some disagreement. Some people include zero in the set of natural numbers (like whole numbers), some people don't (like counting numbers).
Is the whole number equal to the set of natural numbers true or false?
The is false. "the whole number" is a single number while "the set of natural numbers" is a set. A single number cannot be equal to a set.
What is the converse of If a number is a whole number then it is an integer?
"If a number is an integer, then it is a whole number." In math terms, the converse of p-->q is q-->p. Note that although the statement in the problem is true, the converse that I just stated is not necessarily true.

Choose the true biconditional statement that can be formed from the conditional statement If a natural number n is odd then n2 is odd and its converse.?
An integer n is odd if and only if n^2 is odd.
What are the steps in mathematical induction?
Step 1: Formulate the statement to be proven by induction. Step 2: Show that there is at least one value of the natural numbers, n, for which the statement is true. Step 3: Show that, if you assume it is true for any natural number m, greater or equal to n, then it must be true for the next value, m+1. Then, by induction, you have proven that the statement (step 1) is true for all natural numbers greater than or equal to n. Note that n need not be 1.
