Question

i is it true that the product of two mixed numbers that are each between four and five is between 16 and 25

Answer 1

Yes

the boundaries are 4 and 5
the smallest mixed number approaches 4
if we assume 4 then
4²=16
that is minimum, but it has to be slightly greater than 4 at least, so the product will be slightly greater than 16



the larges mixed number approaches 5
if we assume 4 then
5²=25
that is maximum, but it has to be slightly less than 5 at most, so the product will be slightly less than 25
