No. a set of numbers is dense if you always find another number in the set between any two numbers of the set. Since there is no whole number between 4 and 5 the wholes are not dense.
The set of rational numbers (fractions) is dense. for example, we can find a nubmer between 2/3 and 3/4 by averaging them and this number (17/24) is once again a rational number. You can always find tha average of two rational numbers and the result is always a rational number, so the ratonals are dense!

The set of integers is the same as the set of whole numbers.
Zero (0) is in the set of whole number. The only difference between the set of whole numbers and counting numbers is that the whole numbers contain zero. {0,1,2,3...}
Apart from zero (which is its own opposite), the opposites of whole numbers are also whole numbers. You have the set of whole numbers which is also known as the set of integers.
false, the set of natural numbers does not include 0, which can be considered a whole number.
Well, honey, the intersection of the set of whole numbers and the set of natural numbers is the set of all positive integers. In other words, it's the numbers that are both whole and natural, which means it starts from 1 and goes on forever. So, there you have it, the sassy math lesson of the day!
