Answer:

Yes it is.

Explanation:

5/20 is the fraction we're starting off with. let's make it into a decimal. 20x5 is 100, and 5x5 is 25. So the fraction we have now is 25/100, which is similar to .25. .25 is a rational number since it represents the fraction, ratio 25/100. Both 25 and 100 are integers.
