The product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number will result in an irrational number.

This is because if you multiply a nonzero rational number (which can be expressed as a fraction of two integers) by an irrational number (which cannot be expressed as a simple fraction), the result will not be expressible as a fraction and will, therefore, remain irrational.
