Which of the following best describes rational numbers?

  1. Whole numbers only

  2. All numbers that can be expressed as fractions, decimals, or percents

  3. Only positive integers

  4. Negative numbers only

The correct answer is: All numbers that can be expressed as fractions, decimals, or percents

Rational numbers can be expressed as fractions, decimals, or percents. This means that any number that can be written in the form of a fraction where the numerator and denominator are integers and the denominator is not zero is considered a rational number. This includes integers, fractions, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals. Whole numbers (option A), only positive integers (option C), and negative numbers only (option D) are all subsets of rational numbers.
