Definition: Any number, proper or improper fraction, or incommensurable ratio.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look today,
At the word "numeric," and what it truly conveys!
The dictionary gives you quite a list, you see,
Of numbers fancy – “proper” and “improper,” glee!
And ratios too, that don't quite fit in line,
"Incommensurable"—a tricky sign!
Let’s break it down, nice and slow,
Numeric
means dealing with numbers, you know!
Think of quantities, measured with grace,
Like apples counted, or a speeding race.
It's not just whole numbers, one, two, or three,
But any number – that’s the key for me!
Fractions and decimals, they all play their part,
A fraction like one-half, right from the start.
And ratios show proportions, a comparison neat,
So "numeric" means numbers, can't be beat!
Does anyone have a simpler way to think about it? Raise your hand if you do!
