A rational number can be put in the form p / q where p and q are integers.
2 and 3 are integers therefore 2 / 3 is rational.

Yes. It's the quotient of 2 integers. Any fraction
is a rational number.

Any number that can be written in fraction form is a rational number. This includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals as well as fractions.

yes; the definition of a rational number is one that can
be expressed by the fraction a/b where a and b are
both integers, or whole numbers.
The fraction 2/3 fits that definition.

Yes, any fraction is a rational number, as well as any terminating decimal and repeating decimal.
An example of an irrational number is pie (non-repeating, non-terminating decimal).
