An example of infinities that are different sizes are all whole numbers and all decimal numbers.

not sure what you mean by this, if you mean fractions you are wrong. Rational numbers and natural numbers can have a 1 on 1 assignment, look up cantors diagonalization. If you meant real numbers then you are right.

Decimals are how you represent numbers, not the numbers themselves.

I'm not talking about fractions, I'm talking about the reals because that it what op referred to
