Can the product of two rational numbers be irrational?
No.Suppose a and b are two rational numbers.Then they can be written as follows: a = p/q, b = r/s where p, q, r and s are integers and q, s >0.Then a*b = (p*r)/(q*s).Using the properties of integers, p*r and q*s are integers and q*s is non-zero. So a*b can be expressed as a ratio of two integers and so the product is rational.

When can you say that the given number is a rational?
A number is said to be rational if it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. That is, a number x is rational if and only if it is equivalent to p/q for some integers p and q where q is not 0.
How do you express the Ratio of two integers?
The ratio of two integers P and Q can be expressed as P : Q or P/Q. In both cases, you may divided P and Q by their greatest common factor so as to express the ratio in its simplest form. Alternatively, you may multiply both by some number so that the first part is 1 or the second part is 1 (both unit ratios), or the second part is 100 (a percentage), or a million (part per million) and so on.
Is three elevenths a rational or irrational number and why?
Rational.In mathematics, a rational number is any numberthat can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q.
