Another name for 'rational' is "numbers that are equal to the ratio of two whole numbers". Another name for 'irrational' is "numbers that are not equal to the ratio of any two whole numbers".

No, they are not. 1/2 is a ratio of two integers and so it is rational. But it is not a whole number.
Because any whole number, k, can be expressed in the form k/1 which is a ratio of two integers. Since it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers it is a rational number.
