Answer :

To determine which of the numbers below are whole numbers, let's first understand what a whole number is. Whole numbers include all non-negative integers, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, etc., and do not have any fractional or decimal parts.

Now, let’s look at each option given:

A. [tex]\(6830\)[/tex]
- This is a whole number because it is an integer and has no decimal or fractional part.

B. [tex]\(808\)[/tex]
- This is a whole number because it is an integer and has no decimal or fractional part.

C. [tex]\(\frac{1}{10}\)[/tex]
- This is not a whole number because it is a fraction (decimal equivalent is 0.1), and whole numbers cannot have fractional or decimal parts.

D. [tex]\(66\)[/tex]
- This is a whole number because it is an integer and has no decimal or fractional part.

E. [tex]\(717.59\)[/tex]
- This is not a whole number because it has a decimal part (0.59).

F. [tex]\(42.3\)[/tex]
- This is not a whole number because it has a decimal part (0.3).

So, the whole numbers among the options are:

- [tex]\(6830\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(808\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(66\)[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answers are:
- A. [tex]\(6830\)[/tex]
- B. [tex]\(808\)[/tex]
- D. [tex]\(66\)[/tex]
