(TRUE) The statement is True.
$A$ whole number is any number belonging to the set $W = \{0, 1, 2, 3, ...\}$.
$A$ rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed in the form $\frac{p}{q}$,where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q \neq 0$.
Any whole number $n$ can be written as $\frac{n}{1}$.
For example,$0 = \frac{0}{1}$,$1 = \frac{1}{1}$,$2 = \frac{2}{1}$,etc.
Since every whole number can be expressed as a ratio of two integers with a non-zero denominator,every whole number is a rational number.
