1. X and Y are two fractions. X is greater than 0 but less than 1.
Which statement describes the product of X and Y?
A.
The product is less than -1.
B. The product is greater than -1 but less than 0.
C. The product is greater than 0 but less than 1.
D. The product is greater than 1.

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is C. The product is greater than 0 but less than 1.

Explanation:

X and Y are both fractions

X is greater than 0 but less than 1

X * Y > 0 and < 1

The product of these two fractions will result in a fraction between 0 and 1.

For example:

1/2 x 1/2 =1/4, 1/6 x 2/6 = 1/18, 1/10 x 5/6 = 1/12
