Ratio of whole numbers to even numbers

45 Views Asked by At

my son came home from school and said that there was a 1:1 correspondence between even numbers and whole numbers. Is that correct? It seems to me that even though they are both infinite, there will have to be twice as many whole numbers as even numbers. I was thinking that for an infinite set of triangles there are an infinite number of side, but the ratio of sides to triangles is still 3.
