The statement to evaluate is: **"The product of an integer and a decimal number will never be an integer."** Let's examine each option to find a counterexample: 1. **\( 8 \cdot 1.4 = 11.2 \)** - **Product:** 11.2 (not an integer) - **Does not serve as a counterexample.** 2. **\( 2 \cdot 1.3 = 2.6 \)** - **Product:** 2.6 (not an integer) - **Does not serve as a counterexample.** 3. **\( 2 \cdot 1.5 = 3 \)** - **Product:** 3 (an integer) - **This **_is_** a counterexample** because multiplying the integer 2 by the decimal 1.5 results in the integer 3, which contradicts the original statement. **Answer:** \( 2 \cdot 1.5 = 3 \)
