Yes....all whole numbers are rational.....the whole numbers are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4.......}.....and every one of these can be expressed as a rational quantity...Examples :     6 = 12/2   0= 0/4, etc.

I think I messed up:

 

Every whole number is a rational number: for example, 3 = 3 1 . So it is rational. Every whole number n can be written as a fraction of integers: n = n 1 . We aren't required to write it that way; we just need to know that it is possible to express every whole number as a fraction of integers, and hence it is rational.
