We can start solving this problem by first identifying what the elements of the sets really are.
R is composed of real numbers. This means that all numbers, whether rational or not, are included in this set.
Z is composed of integers. Integers include all negative and positive numbers as well as zero (it is essentially a set of whole numbers as well as their negated values).
W on the other hand has 0,1,2, and onward as its elements. These numbers are known as whole numbers.
W ⊂ Z: TRUE. As mentioned earlier, Z includes all whole numbers thus W is a subset of it.
R ⊂ W: FALSE. Not all real numbers are whole numbers. Whole numbers must be rational and expressed without fractions. Some real numbers do not meet this criteria.
0 ∈ Z: TRUE. Zero is indeed an integer thus it is an element of Z.
∅ ⊂ R: TRUE. A null set is a subset of R, and in fact every set in general. There are no elements in a null set thus making it automatically a subset of any non-empty set by definition (since NONE of its elements are <u>not</u> an element of R).
{0,1,2,...} ⊆ W: TRUE. The set on the left is exactly what is defined on the problem statement for W. (The bar below the subset symbol just means that the subset is not strict, therefore the set on the left can be <u>equal</u> to the set on the right. Without it, the statement would be false since a strict subset requires that the two sets should not be equal).
-2 ∈ W: FALSE. W is just composed of whole numbers and not of its negated counterparts.
Answer:
Only Elijah's model is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The data given in the question tells us they have 12 games left on their soccer team. Each one of them tried to simulate the fact by creating some model which look like a balance between quantities.
Elijah placed 3 cubes of value 1 and a cube of value x on one side of a balance. On the other side, he placed 15 cubes of value 1. He was obviously modeling the fact that 15 cubes (games due to play in our case) should be equal to 3 cubes (games already played) plus the x numbers left to play
This model if perfect, since the only way to equilibrate the balance is setting x to 12, the games left to play
Jonathan used a table with 3 x's in a row and a 15 in the second row, trying to model the same situation. To our interpretation, this table doesn't show the number of games left to play. If we equate 3x = 15, we get x=5 which has nothing to do with the situation explained in the question, so this model is not correct.
If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah

Answer:
Each strawberry contains 4 calories
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph crosses the vertical line for 1 strawberry above the intersection with the horizontal line for 3, so there are more than 3 calories in 1 strawberry. The graph crosses "strawberries = 1" at about "calories = 4", matching the first statement.
Similarly, the graph crosses the vertical line for 4 strawberries above the horizontal line for 15 calories. An estimate of 16 calories for 4 strawberries is consistent with the first statement (4 calories in each strawberry).
The point (6, 24) is on the graph, but it means (6 strawberries, 24 calories), not the other way around.
The appropriate choice is ...
Each strawberry contains 4 calories
