DeShawn deposited $6500 into a bank account that earned 11.5% simple interest each year. He earned $4485 in interest before closing the account. No money was deposited into or withdrawn from the account.

How many years was the money in the account?

Round your answer to the nearest whole year.
Thanks for helping!!!

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
