Jolene is correct. When you multiply two rational numbers, the product is always rational.
A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (where the denominator is not zero). The product of two rational numbers can be expressed in the same form, making it rational.
So the answer is:
• Jolene
