Answer:
The answer is "The product is greater than 3/8 and less than 7/2"
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because the product of 3/8 and 7/2 is 21/16.
When you simplify 21/16, you get 1 and 5/16 which is greater than 3/8 but less than 7/2, which simplified is 3 and 1/2.
Let us determine the product of 438 and 17 by partial products.
Consider
and
So,
=
= 7446
Therefore, the product of 438 and 17 is 7446.
No, Sandra's answer is not correct.
Because she should have expressed 17 as (10+7), then if she multiplied (438 by 10) and (438 by 7). And, then added the results.Then her answer would be correct.
The product of a number and a sum.
Least to greatest would be
-2, -17/10, -(1.2)^2
greatest to least would be -(1.2)^2, -17/10, -2
