Answer:5/2 is greater I believe
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Lynn was correct because multiplicative factor 5/2 is greater than 1 or the the product is 2 which is greater than 4/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lynn says that the product of 4/5 and 5/2 is greater than 4/5.
We know that if numerator is less that the denominator, then the value of fraction is less than 1.
[tex]\dfrac{4}{5}<1[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{5}{2}>1[/tex]
Product of 4/5 and 5/2 is
[tex]\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{5}{2}=2[/tex]
2 is greater than 4/5. So, Lynn was correct.
If a positive number multiplied by a factor greater than 1, then the product will be larger than the original number.
In the given problem, original number is 4/5 and the multiplicative factor is 5/2.
Lynn was correct because multiplicative factor 5/2 is greater than 1.
