Yes. All integers are rational numbers, but not all rational numbers are integers.

Explanation:

A number is called rational if it can be expressed in the form p/q for some integers p and q, with q != 0.

Any integer n can be expressed in such a way as n/1, so is a rational number.

Not all rational numbers are integers. For example, 1/2.

So some rational numbers are integers.
