Jolene is correct. When you multiply two rational numbers, the product will always be rational. Rational numbers are defined as numbers that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers (where the denominator is not zero). Since the product of two fractions (which are rational numbers) is also a fraction, it remains rational. Therefore, Malanna's statement is incorrect. The correct response is that Jolene is right.
