Explanation:

The term "decimal" as used here is sufficiently non-specific that we cannot seriously consider it to be part of a suitable answer. A terminating or repeating decimal will be a rational number. A non-terminating, non-repeating decimal will not be a rational number.

While integers and whole numbers are included in the set of rational numbers, by themselves, they do not constitute the best description of the set of rational numbers.
