When multiplied by 1 1/2, the product is less than the number. True or False??
False.
If a number is multiplied by 1 1/2 (which is equal to 3/2), the product will be greater than the number unless the original number is 0 or negative.
For example, if the number is 4, 4 x 3/2 = 6, which is greater than 4.
Therefore, the statement is false.
When multiplied by 6/6, the product is less than the number?
TRUE OR FALSE
This statement is true.
Multiplying any number by 6/6 (which is equal to 1) will result in the same number.
For example, if the number is 4, 4 x 6/6 = 4, which is the same as the original number.
Since the product is the same as the original number, it cannot be greater than the number. Therefore, the statement is true.
When multiplied by 4/5, the product is less than the number.
TRUE OR FALSE?
False.
If a number is multiplied by a fraction less than 1, the product will be less than the original number. So, it may or may not be true depending on the number used.
For example, if the number is 10, then 10 x 4/5 = 8, which is less than the original number.
On the other hand, if the number is 2, then 2 x 4/5 = 1.6, which is greater than the original number.
Therefore, the statement cannot be considered consistently true or false and depends on the value of the original number.
Just say one...
I apologize for the earlier explanation. Here's the answer as you requested:
If the number is 5, then 5 x 4/5 = 4, which is less than the original number. Therefore, the statement is true.
