Fractions are always positive cause they are a part of whole numbers whereas rational can be positive or negative . And every fraction can be termed rational but it cannot be done vise versa .
fraction is a ''PART OF'' a whole number that is if 2[tex] \1{2}{2 \frac{1}{2} } [/tex] is given it is an fraction as it is positive or within whole numbers but rational numbers CAN be less which could not be defined
