the product of two mixed numbers that are each between 4 and 5 is between 16 and 25. I think that is false. am I correct
I think it’s false what you think
4 1/4 * 4 1/3 =
(9/4) * (13/3) = 247/12 = 20.6
Yes, you are correct. The statement is false. To confirm why, we need to analyze the given information.
We know that the two mixed numbers are each between 4 and 5. Let's assume one of the mixed numbers is 4 and the other is 5. The product of these two numbers would be 4 * 5 = 20, which falls between 16 and 25.
Similarly, if we assume both mixed numbers to be 4.5, the product would be 4.5 * 4.5 = 20.25, which also falls between 16 and 25.
Since we were able to find examples where the product falls in the given range, the statement cannot be definitively labeled as true or false. Therefore, without more specific information or restrictions, we cannot conclude whether the statement is true or false.
