Jolene is correct. When you multiply two rational numbers, the product will always be rational. Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, and the product of two such ratios is also a ratio of two integers, which is also rational. Therefore, Malanna's statement is incorrect.
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)
