Question

17.4 x 1.0 Will the product be less than 17.4, equal to 17.4, or greater than 17.4? 17.4 × 0.98 Less than 17.4 Equal to 17.4 Greater than 17.4 Excellent! Excellent!

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Equal to 17.4

2)Less than 17.4

Step-by-step explanation:

One thing we must always remember that when we have number 0 after the decimal point, it means we do not need to consider that as it will have no effect on product and on the other operations.

So,

1)

17.4 x 1.0 = 17.4 x 1 = 17.4  (Product is equal to 17.4)

2)

Suppose if a number 'A' which is less than 1 is multiplied by any other number 'B', than the multiplication always result in the number less than B.

For example:

1x0.5 = 0.5 which is less than 1

Similarly for

17.4 x 0.98 = Result will be less than 17.4 as the second number is less than 1.

Product is less than 17.4
