Column A

1. 2 3/4 * 3/3

2.3/4 * 4/5

3. 2 3/4 *5

4.6/7 * 5/5


Column B


A.
The product is less than each factor..

B.
The product is greater than each factor.

C.
The product is equal to one of the factors.

Answer 1

1) (C): The product is equal to one of the factors.

Note: "2 3/4" * "3/3" = "2 3/4" ; (since "3/3" = "1"); so, 2 3/4 * 1 = "2 3/4" .

The factors are: "2 3/4" and "3/3". The product is: "2 3/4" .

2) (A): The product is less than each factor.

Note: "3/4" * "4/5" = "(3*4) / (4*5)" = 12/20 = (12÷4) / (20÷4) = 3/5 .

The factors are: "3/4" and "4/5"; or, "0.75" and "0.8" , respectively.
The product is: "3/5" ; or, "0.6" .

3) (B): The product is greater than each factor.

Note: "2 3/4" * "5" = "13 3/4 ".
The factors are: "2 3/4" and "5" .
The product is: "13 3/4".

4) (C): The product is equal to one of the factors.

Note: "6/7" * "5/5" = "6/7" ; (since "5/5" = "1"); so, 6/7 * 1 = "6/7" .

The factors are: "6/7" and "3/3". The product is: "6/7" .
