Question

Jean says that if she multiplies 73×34, her product will automatically be less than 73 because 34 is less than 1, meaning the product will only be a part of 73. Is Jean correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, Jean is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$73 * \frac{3}{4}$

Required

Determine the value of the result

When a positive integer is multiplied by a fraction, the result is always less than the integer

Solving further

$Expression = 73 * \frac{3}{4}$

$Expression = \frac{73 * 3}{4}$

$Expression = \frac{219}{4}$

$Expression = 54.75$

The result of the expression shows that the resulting value is less than 73.

Hence, Jean is correct
