The best way to answer this is to find counterarguments for each answer to eliminate them as a possibility. ab doesn't have to be an integer, 2.5*3=7.5 . That's also not an imaginary number so that's out. And that's also not an irrational number so that's out too. Only choice left is rational number.

By definition, a rational number can be expressed as a fraction with integer values in the numerator and denominator (denominator not zero). So, multiplying two rationals is the same as multiplying two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under multiplication. Thus, multiplying two rational numbers produces another rational number. 

So in this case your answer would be A. 

Hope I helped!!!

Adriana, Henry, Malik, and Richard each design surveys to determine the most popular way seventh graders purchase music. Adriana
andriy [413]
The sample which is likely to produce the most valid result is Richard's sample because there was no statistical bias. Statistical bias is the systematic favoritism of certain individuals in the study. Just like what Adriana, Henry and Malik did in conducting their surveys, they choose people who are point of interest and also who are near them. In the way Richard conducted his survey, he used a random sampling technique, this is a method of selecting a sample from a population in such a way that every possible individual can be chosen and he doesn't know who these people are.
