Three siblings are doing their washing and hanging all the items on the washing line. On each line there is a shirt, a jumper and a towel. Each one has one spotted, one plain and one striped item, BUT none of them has the same item in the same design as their sibling. Sandra’s jumper is the same design as Paul’s towel and Paul’s jumper is the same design as Kerry’s towel. Kerry’s jumper is stripped and Sandra’s shirt is spotted.

Who has a striped shirt?

b) What design is Paul’s towel?

c) Who has a spotted jumper?

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
