It can be but it certainly doesn't have to be. 3/4 and 1/2 are both rational numbers. (3/4) - (1/2) = 1/4, which is not an integer.
They are rational, if the numerator and denominator are integers. For example, -2 / 3 would be a rational number.They are rational, if the numerator and denominator are integers.

2/3 is rational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two numbers. Examples of rational numbers between 2 and 2.5 are: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (3/2, 15/16). All integers, then, are rational numbers (12 = 12/1).
All rational numbers are fractional but all fractional numbers are not rational. For example, pi/2 is fractional but not rational.
Yes it is. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
No. sqrt(3) - sqrt(2) is irrational.
The difference can be rational or irrational.5 + sqrt(3) and 2 + sqrt(3) are both irrational numbers but their difference is[5 + sqrt(3)] - [2 + sqrt(3)] = 3, which is rational.
No. 5 and 2 are real numbers. Their difference, 3, is a rational number.

"Integer" means whole numbers, such as 5, 3, or -2; "rational" means fractional numbers (with whole numbers for the numerator and denominator), such as 1/2, -2/3, etc. This also includes whole numbers.
A rational number is one that can be expressed as a/b The sum of two rational numbers is: a/b + c/d =ad/bd + bc/bd =(ad+bc)/bd =e/f which is rational The difference of two rational numbers is: a/b - c/d =ab/bd - bc/bd =(ab-bc)/bd =e/f which is rational The product of two rational numbers is: (a/b)(c/d) =ac/bd =e/f which is rational
A fraction is a ratio of two numbers. Fractions are typically ratios of integers (where the denominator is not zero), which makes them "rational." The root word of rational is ratio. You could have pi/2, or sqr(2)/2, both of which are fractions that are NOT rational.
The quotient of two nonzero integers is the definition of a rational number. There are nonzero numbers other than integers (imaginary, rational non-integers) that the quotient of would not be a rational number. If the two nonzero numbers are rational themselves, then the quotient will be rational. (For example, 4 divided by 2 is 2: all of those numbers are rational).
Yes. Any number that is not rational would not be called 'rational', and so it would not be included in the bag of 'rational numbers'. So all the numbers that are in there must be rational ones.
