Yes.

A mixed number is a whole number plus a fraction.

  • Fractions are rational, that is of the form c/d
  • Whole numbers are rational - put them over 1 to form a[n improper] fraction a/b, eg 5 = 5/1
  • The sum of two rational numbers is rational.

No, the set of mixed numbers is a subset of the set of rational numbers. For example the mixed number 1 ¼ is the same as the improper fraction 5/4 [a rational number]. Note that it is a subset, because integers are also rational numbers, but a mixed number will not be an integer. Also, any fraction between 0 and 1 will not be a mixed number.
