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), and the product of two rational numbers is also a quotient of two integers. 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)
