It's true...but why are you asking this in "religion and spirituality"?
A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction, and every whole number can be written as x/1 where x is a whole number.

TRUE AND FALSE!!
True or False: An integer is a rational number.
Since any integer can be formatted as a fraction by putting it over 1, then this is true.
True or False: A rational is an integer.
Not necessarily; 4/1 is an integer, but 2/3 is not! So this is false.
True or False: A number is either a rational or an irrational, but not both.
True! In decimal form, a number is either non-terminating and non-repeating (so it's an irrational) or not (so it's a rational); there is no overlap between these two number types!

True. Integers (whole numbers) form a sub-class of rational numbers.
Rational numbers can be expressed as the quotient of two integers.

All whole numbers are rational numbers, but not all rational numbers are whole numbers.

implying that irrational numbers are not whole?
