It is a rational number, with a terminating decimal representation. It is not a whole number but comprises a fractional part.
Every whole number is rational.
a rational number is a number that can, by definition, be expressed as a ratio of two numbers. In other words, all rational numbers can be expressed as fractions. Whole numbers are all rational (or as you put, fractional). 5 can be written as the fraction 5/1, same with any other whole number. Decimals are where it gets interesting. .5 is fractional as you can write it as 5/10 or 1/2. Pi (3.1415926......) is the classic example of an irrational number. The decimal goes on forever and doesn't repeat. Therefore, there is no way to write it as a fraction. Be careful though! Just because a decimal goes onto infinity doesn't guarantee that it is irrational. .66666666666666666 repeating might look irrational, but since that decimal can be written as 1/3 then the number itself is said to be fractional!
It is rational and also a whole number.
Every whole number is rational.
Because 10 has no fractional part; it is considered a whole number.
0.25 is a rational fractional number expressed in decimal form. It is not a whole number of any type.
3.4 is rational.
It is a rational number, with a terminating decimal representation. It is not a whole number but comprises a fractional part.
Every whole number is rational.
It can be written as a fraction, so it is rational. It is not an integer, whole number or irrational.
Yes. In fact, every whole number is a rational number.
Rational numbers and irrational numbers are two completely different groups. A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction of whole integers. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction of whole integers. So a number is either rational or irrational.

An integer is any number which can be either positive and negative but not a fractional number. It is also a whole number. Examples are -1,256, -589, -1, 0, 1, 569, 5,236. It is always a rational number. By definition, a rational number is the division of two integers, where the divisor is not zero. Since the divisor is 1 when the number is an integer, then all integers are rational.
Every whole number is rational.
