C The product of 45 and 3 is less than 45. The product of 4 fifths and 3 is less than 4 fifths.
The correct statement is:
C) The product of 45 and 3 is less than 45. The product of 4 fifths and 3 is less than 4 fifths.
To determine which statement is true, we need to compare the products and values given in each option.
A. The product of 83 and 65 is greater than 83. We can check this by calculating 83 * 65 = 5395. Since 5395 is indeed greater than 83, this statement is true.
B. The product of 45 and 3 is greater than 3. Let's calculate 45 * 3 = 135. This is greater than 3, so this statement is also true.
C. The product of 45 and 3 is less than 45. Calculating 45 * 3 = 135, we see that 135 is not less than 45. Hence, this statement is false.
D. The product of 83 and 65 is less than 65. By calculating 83 * 65 = 5395, we see that 5395 is indeed greater than 65. Thus, this statement is false.
Based on our analysis, the only true statement is A: The product of 83 and 65 is greater than 83.
