Question

Jean says that if she multiplies 73×34, her product will automatically be less than 73 because 34 is less than 1, meaning the product will only be a part of 73. Is Jean correct?

Answer 1

Yes, Jean is correct

Explanation:

Given

`73 * (3)/(4)`

Required

Determine the value of the result

When a positive integer is multiplied by a fraction, the result is always less than the integer

Solving further

`Expression = 73 * (3)/(4)`

`Expression = (73 * 3)/(4)`

`Expression = (219)/(4)`

`Expression = 54.75`

The result of the expression shows that the resulting value is less than 73.

Hence, Jean is correct
