Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

The product is greater than 3/8 and less than 7/2

Explanation:

When a positive number X is multiplied by a positive number less than 1, the result will be less than X.

When a positive number X is multiplied by a positive number greater than 1, the result will be more than X.

Here we are multiplying a number less than 1 by a number more than 1. The result will be larger than the smaller number (3/8) and less than the larger number (7/2). This description matches the last choice.

The product is greater than 3/8 and less than 7/2
