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). When you multiply two rational numbers, their product will also be expressible in the form of a fraction (quotient of two integers), thus remaining rational. Malanna's statement is incorrect in this context.
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?
