Answer:

Sarah's statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a fraction is less than 1, it means that its numerator is less than its denominator.

So, if we multiply two fractions both are less than 1, then, numerators of both the fractions are less than their denominators.

Hence, in the resultant fraction, the numerator is less than the denominator and hence its value is less than 1.

Answer:

Sarah's statement is not true and it is explained with the help of  counter example.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah gave a statement that the product of two fraction whose value is smaller than 1 gives a product of 1 or greater than 1.

No, this may not always be true. In fact product of two fractions whose value are less than 1 is always smaller than 1.

This can be explained with the help of a counter example:

1)

\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} < 1\\\\\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\times \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} = \displaystyle\frac{1}{4} < 1

2)

\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}, \displaystyle\frac{2}{4} < 1\\\\\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}\times \displaystyle\frac{2}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{6}{16} < 1

3)

\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}, \displaystyle\frac{4}{7} < 1\\\\\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}\times \displaystyle\frac{4}{7} = \displaystyle\frac{3}{7} < 1

A grocery delivery service has 22 members. Each member pays monthly dues of $12.80
slava [35]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If 9 members paid on the first day, this means they did not pay on the third day

The remaining people (everyone but the 9) paid on the third day

Therefore we must subtract to find out how many members paid on the third day

22 - 9 = 13

Each of the 13 members paid $12.80 which means we must multiply

13 × 12.80 = 166.40

In total, the grocery store collected $166.40 on the third day of the month

Answer: 120

"A analog clock is diveded up into 12 sectors, based on the numbers 1-12. one sector represents 30 degrees (360/12=30). if the hour hand is directly on the 10, and the minute hand is on the 2, that means there are 4 sectors of 30 degree between then, thus they are 120 degree apart (30*4=120)."
