Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep 2/22 the same, and put 5722 over 1.

Turning 5722 into a fraction will make multiplying much simpler.

Multiply:

[tex] \frac{5722}{1} \times \frac{2}{22} = \frac{11444}{22} [/tex]

Divide:

[tex] \frac{11444 \div 22}{22 \div 22} = 520.18 \: \:repeating[/tex]

Since the decimal is repeating, the product is irrational.
