Yes, rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers.
Whole numbers is a slightly ambiguous term but usually means either positive integers, or all integers (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...)
A whole number can be rational because 4 is a whole number and it can also be expressed as the ratio of two integers, in this case 4 and 1
example: 4 = 4/1 = 8/2 = 4
