Yes. One third is 1/3, where both one and three are integers, therefore 1/3 meets the definition of rational numbers, which can be expressed as a fraction a/b where both a and b are integers and b is not 0.

All rational numbers are integers?

A rational number is a number which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, a quotient being the solution to a division sum. Therefore, 1/2, or one half, is a rational number, equal to 0.5. However, 1/3, or one third, is an irrational number, because if you had to write the number out as a decimal, the number would continue to recur. Therefore, all integers are rational numbers, but not all rational numbers are integers. EDIT: 1/3 is a rational number, whoever said it wasn't is a moron.
