Question

Which of the following is true about the expression 5 x 1/4?
Choices:
It represents the product of a rational and irrational number and is equivalent to a rational number.
It represents the product of a rational and irrational number and is equivalent to an irrational number.
It represents the product of two rational numbers and is equivalent to a rational number.
It represents the product of two rational numbers and is equivalent to an irrational number.

Answer 1

It represents the product of two rational numbers and is equivalent to a rational number.

Answer 2

Answer:

(C) It represents the product of two rational numbers and is equivalent to a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

$5{\times}{\frac{1}{4}}$

which can be written as:

${\frac{5}{1}}{\times}{\frac{1}{4}}$

Now, both ${\frac{5}{1}}$ and ${\frac{1}{4}}$ arerational numbers and if we take the product of these two rational numbers, we will get the rational number that is:

${\frac{5}{1}}{\times}{\frac{1}{4}}={\frac{5}{4}}$

Thus, the expression represents the product of two rational numbers and is equivalent to a rational number.

Therefore, option C is correct.
