c.Because 56 is less than 1, the product of 238 and ​56​ is less than ​238​.
d.Because 56 is less than 1, the product of 238 and ​56​ is greater than ​238​.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option a, which states that the product of 238 and 56 is greater than 238 because 56 is greater than 1, hence the result must exceed the original number of 238.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about the product of 238 and 56 is option a: Because 56 is greater than 1, the product of 238 and 56 is greater than 238. This is because multiplying any number by a number greater than 1 will always result in a larger product than the original number. Therefore, multiplying 238 by 56 will yield a product that is significantly larger than 238.
