A large pool has a faucet to allow water to enter the pool and a drain to allow water to leave the pool. Each minute, the faucet allows 1215 gallons of water to enter the pool, and the drain allows 1523 gallons to leave the pool.

What is the change in the amount of water in the pool after 112 minutes?

Enter your answer as a simplified mixed number by filling in the boxes.

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?
