Answer :

Alright, the task is to correctly identify the sets of numbers each given number belongs to. Let's go through each number step-by-step:

1. 12
- 12 is a positive whole number.
- It belongs to the set of natural numbers (N).
- It belongs to the set of whole numbers (W).
- It belongs to the set of integers (Z).
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, 12 belongs to [tex]\(N, W, Z, Q, R\)[/tex].

2. -15
- -15 is a negative whole number.
- It belongs to the set of integers (Z).
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, -15 belongs to [tex]\(Z, Q, R\)[/tex].

3. [tex]\(1 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(1 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] or 1.5 is a positive fraction.
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, [tex]\(1 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(Q, R\)[/tex].

4. 3.18
- 3.18 is a decimal number.
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, 3.18 belongs to [tex]\(Q, R\)[/tex].

5. [tex]\(\sqrt{48}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\sqrt{48}\)[/tex] is an irrational number.
- It belongs to the set of irrational numbers (I).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, [tex]\(\sqrt{48}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(I, R\)[/tex].

6. 9.333... (recurring)
- 9.333… is a repeating decimal.
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, 9.333... belongs to [tex]\(Q, R\)[/tex].

7. [tex]\(-2 \frac{7}{9}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(-2 \frac{7}{9}\)[/tex] is a negative fraction.
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, [tex]\(-2 \frac{7}{9}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(Q, R\)[/tex].

8. [tex]\(\sqrt{25} = 5\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\sqrt{25}\)[/tex] is a positive whole number.
- 5 is a positive whole number.
- It belongs to the set of natural numbers (N).
- It belongs to the set of whole numbers (W).
- It belongs to the set of integers (Z).
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, [tex]\(\sqrt{25} = 5\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(N, W, Z, Q, R\)[/tex].

9. [tex]\(\sqrt{3}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\sqrt{3}\)[/tex] is an irrational number.
- It belongs to the set of irrational numbers (I).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, [tex]\(\sqrt{3}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(I, R\)[/tex].

10. [tex]\(-\sqrt{64} = -8\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(-\sqrt{64}\)[/tex] is a negative whole number.
- It belongs to the set of integers (Z).
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, [tex]\(-\sqrt{64} = -8\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(Z, Q, R\)[/tex].

11. [tex]\(-\sqrt{12}\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(-\sqrt{12}\)[/tex] is an irrational number.
- It belongs to the set of irrational numbers (I).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, [tex]\(-\sqrt{12}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(I, R\)[/tex].

12. [tex]\(\frac{8}{4} = 2\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\frac{8}{4}\)[/tex] simplifies to 2, a positive whole number.
- It belongs to the set of natural numbers (N).
- It belongs to the set of whole numbers (W).
- It belongs to the set of integers (Z).
- It belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q).
- It belongs to the set of real numbers (R).

So, [tex]\(\frac{8}{4} = 2\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(N, W, Z, Q, R\)[/tex].

Here is the complete set of answers:
1. 12 belongs to [tex]\(N, W, Z, Q, R\)[/tex].
2. -15 belongs to [tex]\(Z, Q, R\)[/tex].
3. [tex]\(1 \frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(Q, R\)[/tex].
4. 3.18 belongs to [tex]\(Q, R\)[/tex].
5. [tex]\(\sqrt{48}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(I, R\)[/tex].
6. 9.333... (recurring) belongs to [tex]\(Q, R\)[/tex].
7. [tex]\(-2 \frac{7}{9}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(Q, R\)[/tex].
8. [tex]\(\sqrt{25} = 5\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(N, W, Z, Q, R\)[/tex].
9. [tex]\(\sqrt{3}\)[/tex] belongs to [tex]\(I, R\)[/tex].
