Is the Product Always Greater than the Numbers Multiplied? Is the Product Always Bigger? Let's explore the surprising rules of multiplication with fractions. Situation 1: Both Numbers > 1 4/3×4=16/3 Number 1 ( 4/3≈1.33 ) Number 2 (4) Product (16/3≈5.33) Result: Bigger The product (16/3) is greater than both of the original numbers. Situation 2: Both Numbers < 1 3/4×2/5=6/20 Number 1 ( 3/4=0.75 ) Number 2(2/5=0.4) Product ( 6/20=0.3 ) Result: Smaller The product (6/20) is smaller than both of the original numbers. Situation 3: One > 1, One <1 3/4×5=15/4 Number 1 (5) Product ( 15/4=3.75 ) ◻ Number 2 ( 3/4 = 0.75) ◻ Result: In Between The product ( 15/4 ) is less than 5 but greater than 3/4.
