Here’s a fun twist on exploring this mathematical statement! The statement claims that multiplying an integer by a decimal will never yield an integer, but consider \(2 \cdot 1.5 = 3\). Boom! That’s a counterexample, and it’s a whole number! Another classic example is \(3 \cdot 1.0 = 3\). In this case, multiplying by a decimal that represents a whole number (like 1.0) results in an integer! So don’t let that statement fool you! There are certainly instances where the product is, indeed, an integer!
