f the fraction is greater than 1, in other words the numerator is greater than the denominator, the product will be greater than the whole number.If the fraction is less than one, in other words the numerator is less than the denominator, the product will be less than the whole number.If the fraction is equal to 1, in other words the numerator is equal to the denominator, the product will equal the whole number.
