Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we pick two rational numbers greater than 1/4.

These are 1/3 and 3/4.


\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)=0.25 \\ (1)/(3)=0.33\cdots \\ (3)/(4)=0.75 \end{gathered}

Clearly, they are greater than 1/4.

Their products:


\begin{gathered} =(1)/(3)*(3)/(4) \\ =(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Therefore, two rational numbers that satisfy these conditions are 1/3 and 3/4.
