yes, every whole number is rational since it can be written as a ratio. For example, the number 3 is really 3/1 which is a rational number. We define rational numbers as those numbers that we are able to write as ratios. However, most rational numbers are not whole numbers

Are rational numbers whole numbers?
The set of rational numbers includes all whole numbers, so SOME rational numbers will also be whole number. But not all rational numbers are whole numbers. So, as a rule, no, rational numbers are not whole numbers.
Are all rational numbers whole numbers?
All rational numbers are not whole numbers, as rational numbers can include fractions.
Can a number be both whole and irrational?
No. No irrational numbers are whole, and all whole numbers are rational.
Is -3 a Real or rational or irrational or integer or whole or counting?
-3 is a real, rational, whole integer. But then, -- All integers are real rational whole numbers. -- All whole numbers are real rational integers. -- All rational numbers are real. -- All counting numbers are real, rational, whole integers.
Why all rational numbers are not whole numbers?
All whole numbers are rational numbers because they can be expressed as a fraction of integers.
Why are all whole numbers not rational numbers?
All whole numbers are rational numbers because they can be expressed as a fraction of integers.
Which is rational ?
All whole numbers and fractions are rational numbers
Are all rational numbers whole numbers if no explain?
No, 1/2 is rational, but not a whole number.
Are rational numbers whole numbers also?
Some are, but all are not. 2/1 is rational and whole but 1/2 is rational and not whole. So the answer is a rational number is not necessarily a whole number.
Is 191 a rational number?
Yes, 191 is a whole number. All whole numbers are rational numbers.
Is -2.5 is rational or irrational?
All whole numbers are rational
Can a greatest common factor be a rational number?
All factors are whole numbers and all whole numbers are rational numbers (a rational number is one which can be expressed as one integer over another integer, and whole numbers can be expressed as themselves over 1), thus all factors are rational numbers and so all greatest common factors are rational numbers. The set of whole numbers is a [proper] subset of the set of rational numbers: ℤ ⊂ ℚ
