Question

Why is the product of two rational numbers always rational?Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the proof. Let ab and cd represent two rational numbers. This means a, b, c, and d are Choose... integers or irrationals number , and b and d are not 0. The product of the numbers is acbd, where bd is not 0. Both ac and bd are Choose... integers or irrationals numbers, and bd is not 0. Because acbd is the ratio of two Choose... integers or irrationals numbers, the product is a rational number.

Answer 1

a rational number is a type of real numbers, which is in the form of p/q where q is not equal to zero.

Let a/b and c/d represent two rational numbers. This means a, b, c, and d are integers, and b and d are not 0. The product of the numbers is ac/bd, where bd is not 0. Both ac and bd are integers, and bd is not 0. Because ac/bd is the ratio of two integers, the product is a rational number
