Question

Are 4/3×2/9 less than 2/9 plz explain

Answer 1

For multiplying fractions, you just multiply the numerator of the first by the numerator of the second and the denominator of the first by the denominator of the second. Therefore you would get (8/27). To compare fractions, you like to have the same denominator, 2/9 is the same thing as 6/27 (as both the numerator and denominator is multiplied by 3). Therefore, 8/27 is greater than 6/27 and therefore (4/3)*(2/9) is greater than 2/9. You can also think of it in the sense that 4/3 is greater than 1 and you are multiplying it by 2/9 so that quantity will be greater than 2/9.

Answer 2

Hello there! For this question, we will multiply fractions. To multiply fractions, all we have to do is multiply straight across. Multiply the numerators together and all of the denominators together. 4 * 2 is 8. 3 * 9 is 27. The product is 8/27. To compare the fractions, we can cross multiply both fractions to see what we get. Set it up like this:

8/27   2/9

27 * 2 is 54. 9 * 8 is 72. 2/9 is 54. 8/27 is 72. 72 > 54. 8/27 > 2/9. Yes. 8/27 is greater than 2/9, because when we corss multiply, it has the higher number.
