Question

Bonita said that the product of 5/6 x 1 2/3 is 7/3.

How can you tell that her answer is wrong.

Answer 1

Bonita's product is too large

Explanation:

The two factors in the problem are (5/6) and (5/3). The factor 5/6 is less than 1, ensuring that the product will be less than 5/3.

Bonita's result of 7/3 is more than 5/3, so is too large to be the product.
