When a number is multiplied by a number less than one, the product is less than the number. But, when a number is multiplied by a number greater than one, then the product is greater.

In this case, we can observe that the fractions 1/3 and 5/6 are less than 1, which means those products are less than 575.

On the other hand, the fraction 4/3 is greater than one, which means its product is greater than 575.

The operations above demonstrate the conclusions.


\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)*575\approx191.67 \\ (5)/(6)*575\approx479.17 \\ (4)/(3)*575\approx766.67 \end{gathered}
