Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

Take any two whole numbers you want. Multiplying them together always result in some (other) whole number.

Examples:

  • 2*3 = 6
  • 5*7 = 35
  • 11*12 = 132

In other words,

(whole number)*(whole number) = whole number

This is why we consider the set closed under multiplication.
