Question

Jeffery multiplied 7/8 by 2/3 and made the conclusion that the product of two rational numbers is rational. Is Jeffery correct? Explain.

Answer 1

Rational Number:

"In mathematics, a rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number."

Answer:

7/8 x 2/3

= 14/24

=7/12

So Jefferey is correct!
