Jolene

Answer 1

Jolene is correct. The product of two rational numbers 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. Thus, when two rational numbers are multiplied together, their product will also be a rational number.

So the correct answer is: Jolene.
