Question

Predict whether the product is greater than, less than, or equal to 2/3

Answer 1

2/3 is less than and the answer is 28/27 = 1 1/27 = 2/3 x 1 5/9

Explanation:

2/3 x 1 5/9 = 28/27 = 2/3 x 14/9 = 1 1/27

2/3 ≤ 28/27 = 1 5/9

Answer 2

Greater than.

1 1/27 or 28/27.

Explanation:

You're multiplying more than 2/3, so it is greater than.

2/3 x 1 5/9 is the same as 2/3 x 14/9. The answer to this is 28/27. Simplify to a mixed number which is 1 1/27.
