Is 5/2 times 7/6 greater than 5/2
To determine whether the product of 5/2 and 7/6 is greater or less than 5/2, let's calculate both and compare them.
First, multiply 5/2 by 7/6:
(5/2) * (7/6) = (5 * 7) / (2 * 6) = 35/12 ≈ 2.9167
Comparing this result to 5/2, which is equivalent to 10/4:
35/12 is greater than 10/4, because when both fractions have the same denominator (12), the numerator 35 is greater than 10.
So, yes, 5/2 times 7/6 is greater than 5/2.
