If you mean the set of non-negative integers ("whole numbers" is a bit ambiguous in this sense), it is closed under addition and multiplication. If you mean "integers", the set is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication.
Different sets of numbers have different properties. For example,The set of counting numbers is closed under addition but not under subtraction.The set of integers is closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication but not under division.Rational numbers are closed under all four basic operations of arithmetic, but not for square roots.A set S is "closed" with respect to operation # if whenever x and y are any two elements of S, then x#y is also in S. y = 0 is excluded for division.So, the answer depends on what you mean by "number".
It means that it doesn't matter what order the numbers you are adding are in. A plus B is the same as B plus A. Contrast it with subtraction which does not have this quality.
No. Sum means to add.

The set of positive whole numbers is not closed under subtraction! In order for a set of numbers to be closed under some operation would mean that if you take any two elements of that set and use the operation the resulting "answer" would also be in the original set.26 is a positive whole number.40 is a positive whole number.However 26-40 = -14 which is clearly not a positive whole number. So positive whole numbers are not closed under subtraction.
False. The set of whole numbers is not closed under subtraction. Closure under subtraction means that when you subtract two whole numbers, the result is also a whole number. However, this is not always the case with whole numbers. For example, subtracting 5 from 3 results in -2, which is not a whole number.
Unfortunately, the term "whole numbers" is somewhat ambiguous - it means different things to different people. If you mean "integers", yes, it is closed. If you mean "positive integers" or "non-negative integers", no, it isn't.

Yes, the whole numbers are closed with respect to addition and multiplication (but not division).The term "whole numbers" is not always consistently defined, but is usually taken to mean either the positive integers or the non-negative integers (the positive integers and zero). In either of these cases, it also isn't closed with respect to subtraction. Some authors treat it as a synonym for "integers", in which case it is closed with respect to subtraction (but still not with respect to division).
The sum of any two whole numbers is a whole number.
It means that dividing any number in the set by any other number in the set is valid, and that the result is again a member of the set.For example, the set of real numbers is NOT closed under division - you can't divide by zero.The set of real numbers, excluding zero, IS closed under division. Similarly, the set of rational numbers excluding zero is also closed under division.It means that dividing any number in the set by any other number in the set is valid, and that the result is again a member of the set.For example, the set of real numbers is NOT closed under division - you can't divide by zero.The set of real numbers, excluding zero, IS closed under division.

it means like you are replasing the numbers and borrowing the number one.
It means that you can do any of those operations, and again get a number from the set - in this case, a polynomial. Note that if you divide a polynomial by another polynomial, you will NOT always get a polynomial, so the set of polynomials is not closed under division.
It means that given a set, if x and y are any members of the set then x+y is also a member of the set. For example, positive integers are closed under addition, but they are not closed under subtraction, since 5 and 8 are members of the set of positive integers but 5 - 8 = -3 is not a positive integer.
Reduce is subtraction. You have two numbers one on the top and one on the bottom which is making it be reduced also smaller.
