Rational numbers are of the form n/m where n and m<>0 are integers. Since for each integer n and integer 1 we know that n = n/1, each integer is a rational number.
What you need to know about integers is that integers is the name for the group of numbers that include whole numbers and negative numbers. But integers DO NOT include fractions.
Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Oh, dude, rational numbers are like any number that can be expressed as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are integers. So, like 3/4, -5/2, and 0 are all rational numbers because you can write them as fractions. It's like the cool kids club of numbers, you know?
If it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, p and q (q not 0) then it is rational. Except in some trivial cases, it is not easy to know if a number is not rational - and is therefore irrational.
I don't know another single word for rational numbers. Definition: The rational numbers are all numbers which can be expressed as the ratio of two integers.

6.3 is a rational number but it is not an integer because only whole numbers are integers.
a rational number is any number that can be expressed as p/q where p and q are both integers. Since integers can most definitely be positive-- you might know them as the set of Natural numbers-- then yes, a rational number can be positive.

Yes
Yes. Since they are rational numbers, let's call the first one a/b and the second one c/d where a,b,c, and d are integers. Now we can subtract by finding a common denominator. Let's use bd. So we have ad/bd-cb/bc= (ad-bc)/CD which is rational since we know ad and bc are integers being the product of integers and CD is also an integers. Call ad-bd=P and call CD=Q where P and Q are integers. We now see the difference is of two rationals is rational.
Yes. A number is called a rational number if it can be written as the ratio of two integers. (-6) and 1 are both integers. -6 = -6/1. Therefore -6 is a rational number. Rational numbers can be either positive or negative (zero is also a rational number).
All rational numbers can be expressed as fractions whereas irrational numbers can't.

-52 is a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction in the form of -52/1
