Whole numbers are rational numbers with a denominator of 1.
The difference with general rational numbers is that the denominators are likely to be different and they must be made the same by converting the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator before the addition can be done - by adding the numerators and keeping the denominator, and simplifying (if possible) the result.
With whole numbers the denominators are already the same (as 1) and so the addition can be done straight away.
The main difference is that you must first convert the fractions to a common denominator, unless they already happen to have the same denominator.

-3 is a real, rational, whole integer. But then, -- All integers are real rational whole numbers. -- All whole numbers are real rational integers. -- All rational numbers are real. -- All counting numbers are real, rational, whole integers.
How are rational number different from fractional and whole number?
The set of rational numbers is the union of the set of fractional numbers and the set of whole numbers.
Are rational numbers whole numbers?
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.
Can whole numbers be rational?
Whole numbers ARE rational.
Are rational numbers is a whole number?
Some rational numbers are whole numbers, some are not. The set of whole numbers is a proper subset of rational numbers.
Are some rational numbers whole numbers?
soem rational numbers are whole numbers
How is adding mixed numbers different from adding fractions?
when you add mixed numbers you have a whole number but adding fraction does not.
Are all rational numbers whole numbers?
All rational numbers are not whole numbers, as rational numbers can include fractions.
Are whole numbers rational or irrational?
Whole numbers are always rational
How are whole numbers rational numbers and integers related?
Whole numbers are the same as integers. Whole numbers are a proper subset of rational numbers.
Can a number be both whole and irrational?
No. No irrational numbers are whole, and all whole numbers are rational.
Is -3 a Real or rational or irrational or integer or whole or counting?
-3 is a real, rational, whole integer. But then, -- All integers are real rational whole numbers. -- All whole numbers are real rational integers. -- All rational numbers are real. -- All counting numbers are real, rational, whole integers.
