The Real Number SystemThe Real Number System is separated into two parts:
Rational Rational NumbersNumbers•A subset of the Real Number System where numbers either:
– Terminate (end),– Repeat or– Can be written as
a fraction•Examples: 5.34, 45%, 0.131313..., 2/3, 9

SubsetSet B is a subset of Set
A.Every item in Set B is
also part of Set A.
Examples:A: Solar SystemB: Planets
Every planet is in the solar system, but not everything in the solar system is a planet.
Set A
Set B
Distinct SetsSets A and B have no elements in common.
Examples:A: WMS TeachersB: WMS Students
There are no WMS Teachers who are WMS students and vice versa.
Remember: We are talking about things in the sets, not characteristics of the sets.
