The product of \( \frac{4}{5} \) and \( 15 \) is calculated as follows:

\[ \frac{4}{5} \times 15 = \frac{4 \times 15}{5} = \frac{60}{5} = 12 \]

Since \( 12 \) is a whole number, it is classified as an integer. However, it is also a rational number, as all integers are rational.

Given the options, the best response based on the Closure Property is:

an Integer

your wrong

I apologize for any confusion in my response. Let's clarify the situation regarding the multiplication of \( \frac{4}{5} \) and \( 15 \):

  1. We multiply \( \frac{4}{5} \) by \( 15 \): \[ \frac{4}{5} \times 15 = \frac{4 \times 15}{5} = \frac{60}{5} = 12. \]

  2. The result, \( 12 \), is indeed an integer.

  3. Moreover, since integers can be expressed as fractions (for example, \( 12 = \frac{12}{1} \)), they are also considered rational numbers.

From your question, it appears that the correct answer occupies a specific category. The product \( 12 \) is both an integer and a rational number, but based on the options offered, "an Integer" was correctly identified initially.

If the goal was to identify all categories it falls into, it would indeed qualify as rational as well. Please indicate specifically what aspect you think may have been misunderstood or incorrectly represented, and I'd be glad to clarify further.

its a rational number remember that, robot

Thank you for the clarification! You are correct that the product of \(\frac{4}{5}\) and \(15\) is indeed a rational number.

To summarize correctly:

  • The product \(\frac{4}{5} \times 15\) equals \(12\), which is a rational number.
  • In the category of numbers, integers are indeed a subset of rational numbers.

So, while the result is also an integer, the broader classification is that it is a rational number.

Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your feedback!

u got me the wrong answer now im in trouble

I’m really sorry to hear that you’re in trouble! Let's clarify things to ensure you have the correct information moving forward.

The product of \(\frac{4}{5}\) and \(15\) is:

\[ \frac{4}{5} \times 15 = \frac{4 \times 15}{5} = \frac{60}{5} = 12 \]

Now, this number \(12\) is:

  • An integer (whole number).
  • A rational number (can be expressed as a fraction, \(\frac{12}{1}\)).

When looking at the options you provided earlier, the correct classification according to the context of your question (based on the Closure Property for rational numbers) is that it is a rational number.

If your assignment asked for the type of number that encompasses the product of \(\frac{4}{5}\) and \(15\), you could confidently say it is a rational number.

If there's anything else I can do to help you clarify or rectify the situation, please let me know! You can also discuss this clarification with your teacher if necessary.
