Given situation : 2 improper fraction is multiplied. Now is the product always more than than 1?
Yes, the product is always more than 1. Because take note that in improper fraction, the numerator is always higher compare to the denominator of the given fraction. That means when you divide the numerator from the denominator, the answer would always be more than 1.
Example:
=> 5 / 4 x 4 / 2
=> 20 / 8 or equals to 5/2
now divide
=> 5 / 2
=> 2 1/2
