Answer:

Rational x Irrational = Irrational

Explanation:

6 is a rational number. It can be written as an integer over and integer
(6)/(1)


\pi is irrational. This is a number that never repeats or terminates, so it can not be written as an integer over and integer.

Answer: Choice B

Rational x Irrational = Irrational

==============================================

Reason:

6 = a rational number

3pi = an irrational number

18pi = an irrational number

Anything involving pi is irrational. The value 6 is rational because 6 = 6/1.

pi is irrational since we cannot write it as a ratio of two integers. We can get approximations like 22/7, but we can't nail down the exact value of pi with a fraction.
