Malanna says that when she multiplies two rational numbers, her product will be irrational. Jolene says that the product in this case will be rational. Who is correct?(1 point)

Question

A) Malanna
B) Jolene
C) Both options are possible depending on the numbers.
D) Neither of them, it depends on the number.

Answer 1

B) Jolene

When two rational numbers are multiplied, the product is always rational. Rational numbers can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, and the product of two such quotients is also a quotient of integers, thus rational. Malanna is incorrect.
