Jolene is correct. When you multiply two rational numbers, the product will always be rational. Rational numbers are defined as numbers that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers (i.e., \( \frac{a}{b} \) where \( a \) and \( b \) are integers and \( b \neq 0 \)). The product of two rational numbers is also a fraction of two integers, which means it remains rational.
Therefore, Malanna's statement is incorrect.
