To determine which statement about the product 5.5 square root of 5 is true, we need to examine whether the product is rational or irrational.
To determine if the product is rational, we need to check if it can be written as a fraction of two integers. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient (or fraction) of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.
If we know that the square root of 5 is irrational (which it is), then multiplying an irrational number by a rational number (in this case, 5.5) will still result in an irrational number. Therefore, the product 5.5 times the square root of 5 is irrational.
Hence, the correct answer is B. The statement "the product is irrational" is true.

To determine which of the cereals is the Best Buy based on price per ounce, we need to calculate the cost per ounce for each cereal option.
To calculate the cost per ounce, we divide the price of each cereal option by its weight in ounces.
Option A: 28 oz. of cereal for $4.29 --> Cost per ounce = 4.29/28 ≈ 0.1532 dollars per ounce
Option B: 32 oz. of cereal for $4.59 --> Cost per ounce = 4.59/32 ≈ 0.1434 dollars per ounce
Option C: 36 oz. of cereal for $4.79 --> Cost per ounce = 4.79/36 ≈ 0.1331 dollars per ounce
Option D: 24 oz. of cereal for $3.59 --> Cost per ounce = 3.59/24 ≈ 0.1496 dollars per ounce
By comparing the cost per ounce, we see that Option C has the lowest cost per ounce, which means it offers the best value for money.
Hence, the correct answer is C. The cereal with 36 oz. for $4.79 is the Best Buy.
