Yes. A rational number is defined as any integer divided by any (nonzero) integer, so 22/7 is rational.
You're probably asking because some people say that Pi is equal to 22/7 (I also remember being told this once as a kid). This is false. The constant Pi is an irrational number, which means that it cannot be expressed exactly as one integer divided by another integer, or as a finite decimal expansion. 22/7 is a close approximation of Pi, to about three digits, but it does not equal Pi.

No, it is rational. A rational number is one which can be expressed as a ratio between two integers. Since 22 and 7 are both integers, then 22 over 7 is rational.
Why is phi not the same as 22 over 7?
Firstly, it is pi, not phi. Second, 22/7 is a ratio of 2 integers. It is, therefore a rational number. pi is not a rational number, so it cannot be 22/7. It is a near enough approximation, though.
