Yes, you are correct. 2/5 is a fraction, and fractions are not considered integers. Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero, while fractions represent parts or divisions of a whole. To determine if a number is an integer or a fraction, you need to understand the definitions and properties of each. In this case, the numerator (2) and denominator (5) of the fraction 2/5 indicate that it represents two equal parts out of a total of five parts, which is not a whole number.
