Question

If 8/9 is multiplied by 3/7, will the product be greater than either of the 2 factors?

Answer 1

No, it is less than both of the fractions.

Explanation:

Multiply the two fractions

`(8)/(9)` x
`(3)/(7)` = 0.380952381

Figure out the value of the two fractions

`(8)/(9)` = 0.8888888889

`(3)/(7)` = 0.4285714286

Reduce/Simplify:

0.380952381 = 0.38

0.8888888889 = 0.89

0.4285714286 = 0.43
