Answer: Less than

Without actually solving this, we can find that the product of 3 and 4/5 will be less than 3. The reason for this is because 4/5 < 1. If we simply would do 3 * 1 we would just get 3. But since we are multiplying it by a number smaller than 1, we will be getting a number less than 3.

Solving this:

4/5 = 0.8

3 * 0.8 = 2.4
