Is pi 12 equal to a rational number?
Any multiple of or addition to or subtraction from PI is an irrational number. PI divided by PI is 1, a rational number. So is PI times 0 = 0
What does The sum of a rational number and irrational number equal?
The sum is irrational.
What does a rational number times an irrational number equal?
The product of 0 and an irrational is 0 (a rational), the product of a non-zero rational and any irrational is always irrational.
Can an irrational number minus a rational number equal an irrational number?
Yes, it will always be irrational.
Can a rational number plus an irrational number equal a rational number?
No, never.
Does a rational number times an irrational number equal a rational number?
No. If the rational number is not zero, then such a product is irrational.
What does The sum of a rational number and irrational number equal?
The sum is irrational.

What does a rational number times an irrational number equal?
The product of 0 and an irrational is 0 (a rational), the product of a non-zero rational and any irrational is always irrational.
Does an irrational number plus a rational number equal an irrational number?
Yes
Can an irrational number minus a rational number equal an irrational number?
Yes, it will always be irrational.
Can a rational number plus an irrational number equal a rational number?
No, never.
Does an irrational plus a rational number equal an irrational number?
Yes, always.
Can a rational number be multiplied by an irrational number and equal a rational number?
Only if the rational number is 0.
Is an irrational number plus an irrational number equal a rational or an irrational number?
An irrational number is a number that has no definite end. So it can't be multiplied or divided by anything to make a rational number that does have a definite end.
What is a rational number multiplied by an irrational number equal?
It can be a rational number or an irrational number. For example, sqrt(2)*sqrt(50) = 10 is rational. sqrt(2)*sqrt(51) = sqrt(102) is irrational.
Why does a rational number plus an irrational number equal an irrational number?
from another wikianswers page: say that 'a' is rational, and that 'b' is irrational. assume that a + b equals a rational number, called c. so a + b = c subtract a from both sides. you get b = c - a. but c - a is a rational number subtracted from a rational number, which should equal another rational number. However, b is an irrational number in our equation, so our assumption that a + b equals a rational number must be wrong.
