Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction, where the numerator and the denominator are both integers and the denominator is not zero. Whole numbers are a subset of rational numbers that include all positive integers (including zero) and their negatives.
Not all rational numbers are whole numbers. A rational number can be a fraction where the numerator and denominator are integers, but the numerator is not divisible evenly by the denominator. For example, the rational number 3/2 is not a whole number because it is not an integer.
All whole numbers, on the other hand, are rational numbers. Whole numbers can be expressed as fractions where the denominator is 1. For example, the whole number 5 can be written as 5/1, which is a rational number.
In conclusion, all whole numbers are rational numbers, but not all rational numbers are whole numbers. The relationship between rational numbers and whole numbers is that whole numbers are a subset of rational numbers.
Describe the relationship between rational numbers and whole numbers. Are all rational numbers also whole numbers? Are all whole numbers also rational numbers? Give examples to support your answer.
