The number would be greater. if you think about normal multiplication, when you multiply a number by 1 the number stays the same, but when you multiple the number by less then one, i.e. a fraction you get a fraction of what you had. while a number greater then one, i.e. 2, the number increases. so 1.23 is greater then one so it would increase
-(-4) = 4, so the opposite, if I understand what they mean, would be -4.
They are different because 738 is greater than 649 . There both not the same numbers.
First, you will have to convert both the fractions to improper fractions, then you will multiply both the fractions. Once you are done multiplying it you will convert them to mixed fractions.
