This may or may not be true.
The set of "counting numbers" may either be defined as all positive integers (1, 2, 3, 4...) or as all non-negative integers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4...).
Similarly, the set of "whole numbers" may be defined as all positive integers, all non-negative integers, or as all integers (...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...).
It all depends on the definition given for each term.

Are positive numbers whole numbers?
No. Positive numbers can be whole numbers but they can also be decimal numbers and fractions. If a value is a whole number, it does not have a fraction or decimal part and it is not negative. Whole numbers are also called natural numbers or counting numbers.
Are natural and whole numbers equivalent sets?
they are almost all equivalent - whole numbers also have the number 0, which natural numbers (counting numbers) do not.
What member of the set of whole number and the opposites?
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.
What are natural numbers and their examples?
Natural numbers are positive integers, also known as counting numbers. Some examples are 3, 4, 4359.
What are positive and negative whole numbers and zero?
Whole numbers are numbers from 0 to infinity. They must be numbers that are not fractions or decimals, and must be positive. Integers can be any numbers that are whole, negative or positive. Zero is not a positive number. Neither is it negative. Rational numbers are an fraction. Eg: 6/10 or 6/6 They can also be whole numbers because 6/6 is also 1. Counting numbers are also numbers 1-infinity, but once again, it is all whole numbers, meaning that they are not decimals or some thing like: .1 or 1/2
