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 Option D: The product of 83 and 65 is less than 65.
To determine which statement is true, we need to evaluate each statement and compare it with the given numbers.
Statement A: The product of 83 and 65 is greater than 83.
To determine if this statement is true, we multiply 83 and 65:
83 * 65 = 5395
Comparing 5395 with 83, we can see that 5395 is indeed greater than 83. So, Statement A is true.
Statement B: The product of 45 and 3 is greater than 3.
To determine if this statement is true, we multiply 45 and 3:
45 * 3 = 135
Comparing 135 with 3, we can see that 135 is indeed greater than 3. So, Statement B is true.
Statement C: The product of 45 and 3 is less than 45.
To determine if this statement is true, we multiply 45 and 3:
45 * 3 = 135
Comparing 135 with 45, we can see that 135 is greater than 45, not less than it. Therefore, Statement C is false.
Statement D: The product of 83 and 65 is less than 65.
To determine if this statement is true, we multiply 83 and 65:
83 * 65 = 5395
Comparing 5395 with 65, we can see that 5395 is greater than 65, not less than it. Therefore, Statement D is false.
In summary, the true statements are A and B.
