Question

if 40 is multiplied by a number, identify a number that will give a product less than 40. Explain why you chose this number

Answer 1

40×0.5=20.

Since 0.5 is less than 1, multiplying by it results in a product that is less than 40. This is because any number multiplied by a value between 0 and 1 will result in a smaller value than the original number.
