A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction. For example, the number 5 is a rational number because as a fraction it is 5/1. The number 0.5 is a rational number because as a fraction it is 1/2. The square root of 3 is not a rational number, as it can not be expressed as a simple fraction.

In mathematics, nothing is beyond infinity.There are, in certain technical areas of mathematics there are various "measures" of infinity and so some "infinite" entities are greater than others, e.g. there are more irrational numbers than rational numbers.
All rational numbers are real numbers.

There are many common numbers in mathematics which are not rational. Two of the most important numbers in mathematics are pi and e: both are irrational.

In mathematics, a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction a/b of two integers, with the denominator b not equal to zero. Since all whole numbers are integers, all fractions made up of whole numbers will be rational.
This is told by Carl F. Gauss: "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics." There are different types of numbers: prime numbers, composite numbers, real numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers and so on. This study of numbers is included within the concept of maths and numbers and it is very important a study. Therefor number theory holds a greater importance too.
There are no consecutive rational numbers. Between any two rational numbers there are an infinity of rational numbers.
If there are no numbers after the 9 it is rational

In mathematics, rational refers to something that can be expressed as a ratio.
No. Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a fraction. All rational numbers are real.
The set of rational numbers includes all whole numbers, so SOME rational numbers will also be whole number. But not all rational numbers are whole numbers. So, as a rule, no, rational numbers are not whole numbers.
