A rational number simply is any number that can be put into a fraction or have a terminating/repeating decimal. (Ex. 3= 3/1 or 1/2 or .3333333333= 1/3) An integer is any natural or whole number and their negatives (...... -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ......etc.)

You probably don't have to inspect that pair too closely.Every integer IS a rational number.
No. If it is an integer then it is a whole number.
Every integer is a rational number.
A rational number which is an integer can be simplified to a form in which the denominator is 1. That is not possible for a rational number which is not an integer.
When expressed as a ratio of two integers (not intergers!), the simplest form for the integer but not others, has 1 as the denominator.
