When you multiply 2/3 by a fraction less than one, how does the product compare to the factor

Mathematics

The product is less than either of the factors. Multiplying a number < 1 with 2/3 another number < 1, will give a fraction of a fraction, and part of a fraction is an even smaller fraction. Another way of looking at it: Fractions less than one have numerators smaller than their denominators. When multiplying fractions, you multiply across, so multiplying two fractions that are both less than one will always give a numerator much smaller than the denominator, and a larger denominator makes for a smaller number. I hope this helps, but if you have questions, ask.

A taxi company charges $1.00 for the first mile (or part of a mile) and 20 cents for each succeeding tenth of a mile (or part).
meriva

Step-by-step explanation:

solving functions separately.

1st:  from given data taxi charges $1.00 for the first mile.so it is first rule of function.

y_{1} =1 , 0

2nd: the company charge $0.20 per tenth of a mile.so 2nd rule of the function will  be

y_{2} =1+0.2.10(x-1)

simplifying

y_{2} =1+2(x-1)

y_{2} =x+2x-2

y_{2} =x ,  1

piece wise function is f(x)={2 ,  0<x<1

                                              {x ,  1<x<2

the graph of the function is given below
