Answer 1

Abdi says that 9 x 6 is less than 10 x 4 because 9 is less than 10. Do you agree with Abdi's reasoning? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

I do not agree because 9 x 6 is greater than 10 x 4.

`\begin{gathered} 9\cdot6=54\text{ and 10}\cdot4=40 \\ \end{gathered}`

Therefore, 54 > 40 and 9 x 6 is less than 10 x 4 is false.
