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)

Question

A: Malanna
B: Both options are possible depending on the numbers.
C: Neither of them, it depends on the number.
D: Jolene

Answer 1

D: Jolene

When you multiply two rational numbers, the product will always be rational. A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, and the product of two fractions is also a fraction of two integers, thus rational. Therefore, Jolene is correct.
