landon wants to show that the product of rational numbers is always a rational number. complete his work and explanation by filling in the boxes with values that support his conclusionβ

Multiply β2 by β72. The product is a rational number because β144 can be simplified to an integer.
Step-by-step explanation:
As Landon has to prove that two product of two rational numbers, he has to choose two rational numbers from the list and then multiply and show that the product is also a rational number.
Let us define the rational numbers first
A number that can be written in the form of p/q where p,q are integers and q is not equal to zero, is called a rational number.
From the give =n list of rational numbers
Taking
β2 and β72
[tex]\sqrt{2} * \sqrt{72}\\=\sqrt{2*72}\\=\sqrt{144}\\=12\\=\frac{12}{1}[/tex]
As we can see that the product of β2 and β72 is 12 which is also a rational number.
So,
Multiply β2 by β72. The product is a rational number because β144 can be simplified to an integer.
