Answer:
For this first lets simplify the number.
[tex] \frac{ - 18}{3} = - 6[/tex]
Now,
-6 is a real number. Therefore Cameron is right about it.
-6 can be written in the form of p/q (fraction) where q is not equals to zero. Therefore it is rational too.
Now, all natural numbers (also including 0) and negative of that number is integer. Therefore - 6 is also an integer.
But, all natural number and zero makes a whole number. Whole number doesn't contain negative of a number. Therefore - 6 is not a whole number.
Therefore Cameron is wrong.
