Question

If 7/8 is multiplied by 4/5, will the product be greater than either of the two factors. Explain

Answer 1

Four fifths of 7/8 will be less than 7/8 (multiplied by a number less than 1).

Similarly, 7/8 of 4/5 will be less than 4/5.

 

This means that the product will be less than each of the original factors
