Why is it not possible for a whole number other than 0 multiplied by an irrational number to be equal a rational number?

It certainly is possible. For example, the square root of 2 times the square root of two is equal to two. Another example: pi multiplied by (1/pi) is equal to 1.Ans. 2No, it is not possible. The two 'counterexamples' above involve multiplying the irrational number by another irrational number.
