Answer 1

The correct description is:

A rational number is a fraction that includes all integers except for when zero is the divisor.

This is because a rational number can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (where the denominator is not zero), meaning it can be written in the form \( \frac{a}{b} \) where \( a \) and \( b \) are integers, and \( b \neq 0 \).
