Structure of numbers

Is Mathematics like English?Sentences are made up of different types of words.
Whole numbers are the natural numbers including zero. Not all whole numbers are natural numbers, but all natural numbers are whole numbers.
Wholewhole
wholenatural
natural
natural
Nouns provide the objects of the sentence, like bullet points. Without them there is no structure. Are they like whole numbers?
Adjectives are ‘describing’ words.They make sense of the nouns and provide context for them.Could they be like fractions and decimals?
Are numbers structured like sentences?

Classification of numbers

Sort these numbers in a sensible way
All of these numbers are Real Numbers
The rest of the numbers are called
Irrational Numbers
Numbers that make fractions are
called Rational Numbers

If a number is whole then it is an
Integer

Currency rates
1 GDP = 1.1573 EUR1 USD = 1.4753 EUR
You are buying a house in Italy for €250,000.
You need to convert your currency into euros and see the exchange rates given above.
Your bank rounds the exchange rates to two decimal places.
Does this matter?
