To multiply rational numbers, convert them to decimals and multiply the decimals. Rational numbers are fractions with a numerator and denominator, while irrational numbers go on indefinitely as decimals and cannot be expressed as fractions. When multiplying a rational number and an irrational number, the result will always be irrational, as it is not possible to express an irrational number as a fraction.

1. Multiplying Rational and Irrational numbers Kashae` Alexander!

2. Rational * Rational Rational numbers consist of any number with a numerator and denominator, a Fraction mainly.

3. Examples 1/567, 34/12, or/and 12/144

4. To multiply rational numbers you have to convert them into a Decimal, and to do that let's start with 1/567*34/12 you divide the numerator by the denominator, so 1/567=.001763.... and 34/12=2.83333....

5. Now you multiply the Decimals of the fractions(1/567, and 34/12=?)or (0.001763*2.83333=.004995)

6. Rational*Irrational Irrational numbers are Numbers that cannot be written as a ratio or a fraction. When written as a decimal, the numbers go on. Like Pi=3.141592654...

7. To multiply a Rational number and a Irrational number it haves to equal an irrational number, it is not possible for it to equal a rational number because a irrational number is not a fraction , and cannot be. For example

8. Pi*1/12. Pi=3.14592654...

9. 3.14592654....*1/12=.2617993878... and that IS NOT a rational number, which remember is a fraction or CAN be a fraction. Which this answer CANNOT be made into a fraction.
