The relationship between rational numbers and whole numbers can be described as follows:

1. Are all rational numbers also whole numbers?
No, not all rational numbers are whole numbers. Whole numbers are non-negative integers (including zero), while rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. Rational numbers may include non-whole numbers such as fractions and decimals. For example, 1/2, 3/4, and 0.25 are rational numbers, but they are not whole numbers.

2. Are all whole numbers also rational numbers?
Yes, all whole numbers are also rational numbers. This is because whole numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, where the denominator is 1. For example, 2 can be written as 2/1, 3 can be written as 3/1, and so on. These ratios satisfy the definition of rational numbers.

To summarize, while all whole numbers are rational numbers, not all rational numbers are whole numbers.
