A decimal, in this context, is a useless description: a decimal can be an integer, a rational number or an irrational number. Furthermore, a whole number times a decimal fraction can be a whole number, a rational number or an irrational number.
For example:
4 * 3.5 = 14 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = whole number.
4 * 3.3 = 13.2 is a whole number times a decimal fraction = rational fraction.
4 * 3.14159... [ie pi in decimal form] = 4 * pi, which is an irrational number.
