Explain why the sum and product of two rational numbers is always a rational number.
Kaylee says
I know that $\pi$ is an irrational number so its decimal never repeats. I also know that $\frac{1}{7}$ is a rational number so its decimal repeats. But I don't know how to add or multiply these decimals so I am not sure if $\pi + \frac{1}{7}$ and $ \pi \times \frac{1}{7}$ are rational or irrational.
Using part (a), help Kaylee decide whether or not $\pi + \frac{1}{7}$ and $\pi \times \frac{1}{7}$ are rational or irrational.
