To multiply the above numbers, here are the steps:
1. Multiply the whole number and the radicands.
2. Get the square root of 81.
3. Multiply the answer in #2 to the product of the whole numbers.
Therefore, the product of 4√3 and 2√27 is 72.
The result is rational because it can be written as the ratio of two integers and its decimal expansion does terminate or repeat.
