Question

Is the product of 12 and 3/4 more or less than 12? Please explain answer

Answer 1

Product is the same as multiplication. Basically the question is asking is 12 x 3/4 < or > than 12.

12x3/4=9, so therefore 9 is less than or < 12

Answer: the product of 12 and 3/4 is less than 12

Answer 2

Hello!!

So the product is when numbers or variables are multiplied together. So if we have 12 * 3/4 then that equals 12/1*3/4=(12*3)/4=36/4=9

So we can see that the product of 12*3/4 is less than 12. We can see this right from the start by noticing that to be at least 12, then 12 would have to be multiplied by at minimum 1 meaning 12*1=12 anything less than 1 would result in a lesser value than 12.

Hope this helps!! Any questions please just ask!! Thank you!!!
