✔ Matching Solutions:

#### 1. Any number that can be expressed as a fraction.
→ This describes a Rational Number.
✔ Answer: Rational Number

#### 2. A number that cannot be written as a fraction.
→ This is an Irrational Number (like √2 or π).
✔ Answer: Irrational Number

#### 3. Counting numbers not including zero.
→ These are Natural Numbers (1, 2, 3, ...).
✔ Answer: Natural Number

#### 4. The set of counting numbers including zero.
→ This is Whole Numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
✔ Answer: Whole Numbers

#### 5. Any whole number that is not a fraction or a decimal (includes negatives).
→ This includes negative and positive whole numbers and zero → Integer
✔ Answer: Integer

#### 6. A mathematical phrase involving numbers, operation symbols, but no variable.
→ No variables → Numerical Expression (e.g., 3 + 5, 8 × 2)
✔ Answer: Numerical Expression

#### 7. A mathematical phrase that includes one or more variables.
→ This is an Algebraic Expression (e.g., 3x + 2)
✔ Answer: Algebraic Expression

#### 8. A symbol, usually a letter, that represents the value(s) of a quantity.
→ This is a Variable (e.g., x, y)
✔ Answer: Variable

#### 9. To replace a variable with a given value.
→ This is Substitute (e.g., substitute x = 3 into 2x)
✔ Answer: Substitute

#### 10. To replace a value with a single numerical value.
→ This means simplifying or reducing to a number → Simplify
✔ Answer: Simplify

#### 11. To find the value.
→ This means Evaluate (e.g., evaluate 2x when x = 4 → answer is 8)
✔ Answer: Evaluate

#### 12. Anything that can be counted or measured.
→ This is a Quantity (a measurable amount)
✔ Answer: Quantity

#### 13. A value that doesn't change.
→ This is a Constant (e.g., in 3x + 5, 5 is constant)
✔ Answer: Constant

#### 14. A number that is raised to the exponent.
→ This is the Base (e.g., in 2³, 2 is the base)
✔ Answer: Base

#### 15. How many times to use a number. How many times a number is multiplied by itself.
→ This is the Exponent (e.g., in 2³, 3 is the exponent)
✔ Answer: Exponent
