Since irrational numbers are forever going, multiplying any nonzero rational number with an irrational number will make the product irrational as well

Answer:

The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.

Explanation:

If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational.

However, the product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.

Example-


5/6*3.14=2.616666666...

So, its irrational.
