Answer:

False

Explanation:

Ight so any irrational number times a rational number is irrational. But keep in mind that If its 0 times an irrational number, its going to be 0, which is a rational number. So irrational x rational = irrational. Irrational x 0=rational 0.

Hope this helped

Answer:

False

Explanation:

I think this is a true or false question.

The statement is false.

Here is an example of it being false:

Choose the irrational number to be
√(2) and the rational to be 1.

The product of these numbers is
√(2) which is irrational, not rational.
