To determine the type of product that results from multiplying \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( 3\pi \), we can analyze the elements involved:

  1. \( \frac{3}{5} \) is a fraction and also a rational number since it can be expressed as the ratio of two integers.
  2. \( 3\pi \) involves the mathematical constant \( \pi \), which is known to be an irrational number.

When multiplying a rational number (\( \frac{3}{5} \)) by an irrational number (\( 3\pi \)), the result is always an irrational number.

So, the answer is: an irrational number.
