Answer 1

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 a fraction of two integers (where the denominator is not zero). When you multiply two fractions (rational numbers), the result is also a fraction, thus a rational number.

So, the correct answer is: Jolene.
