Question

George and Francis are studying for a math test. They are each trying to find the product below.

Answer 1

Answer:

They are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is equal to $\frac{5}{1}$

$\frac{5}{1}$ × $\frac{5}{3}$ = $\frac{25}{3}$

$\frac{25}{3}$ is about equal to 8.33

8.33 is greater than 5

Answer 2

Answer:

The product is greater than 1.

Solution:

They are trying to find the product of 5 times of $\frac{5}{3}$

So the product will be 5 times of $\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)=\left(5 \times\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)\right)$

$\Rightarrow\frac{5 \times 5}{3}\\=\frac{25}{3}=\frac{8 \times 3+1}{3}\\\Rightarrow8\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$

$8\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) > 1$

So, we can see that the product is greater than 1.
