1 answer

To make each statement true, we first need to identify the nature of the number \( \sqrt{312} \).

  1. The product of \( \sqrt{312} \) and a rational number would yield a rational number.

    • Response for this statement: Any rational number, such as \( 1 \) or any integer like \( 2 \).
  2. The product of \( \sqrt{312} \) and an irrational number would yield an irrational number.

    • Response for this statement: Any irrational number, such as \( \sqrt{2} \) or \( \pi \).

To summarize for your drag-and-drop task:

  • For the first statement, drop a rational number (e.g., \( 1 \) or \( 2 \)).
  • For the second statement, drop an irrational number (e.g., \( \sqrt{2} \) or \( \pi \)).
