when you multiply a number by a value that's greater than 1, that number increases, for example 2 and then we multiply it like 2 * 3, clearly 2*3 is greater than 2.

now when you multiply a number by a value that's lesser than 1, that number decreases, for example 2 and then we multiply it by something like 1/4, so 2 * 1/4 = 1/2, well, clearly 1/2 is smaller than 2, so 1/2 is a decreased value of 2.

23)

we have here 4/7, and then a product, well, the product is 4/7 and 9/10, however 9/10 is less than 1, recall 1 = 10/10, 9/10 is just a tiny bit less than 1.

because we're multiplying 4/7 by some amount less than 1, the product is a smaller value than 4/7, thus


\bf \cfrac{4}{7}~~>~\left( \cfrac{9}{10}* \cfrac{4}{7} \right)

25)

we have here 5/6 and we multiply it by 7/7, wait a minute!!! 7/7 = 1, we're really just multiplying 5/6 by 1 then, what does that give us? well, 5/6 * 1 = 5/6, just the number itself,


\bf \cfrac{5}{6}~~=~\left( \cfrac{5}{6}* \cfrac{7}{7} \right)
