Yes, because 13 is just that- it doesn't continue on forever, like an irrational number, but is simply ten and three, 13. Also, as a rational number, it can be written as a fraction: 13 over 1.
However, 13 is prime, meaning that it can only be multiplied by 1 and itself. Because of this, if you asked for the square root of 13, you would get an irrational number.

Yes - expressed as a top-heavy fraction in its simplest form, this is equal to -13/10 or negative thirteen tenths.

Yes.

1.3 = 13/10 = 13/10 which is of the form p/q with p and q whole numbers (integers) which is a rational number
