hero · Answer

3/4 is rational, has the form a/b and can't be written as an integer. However, 4/2 can be written as an integer. In other words, every integer can be written in rational form, but not all rational numbers can be written as integers.

You need to be careful with definitions of terms.

An integer is on the number line just like a rational number or an irrational number. All real numbers are on the number line. That means that not all numbers on the number line are integers.
An integer is a whole number, which includes zero, and the negatives of the whole numbers.

A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction of integers.
