Question

the product 1/6 x 3/2 will be less than or greater than 1/6

Answer 1

Answer:

The product of 1/6 × 3/2 will be greater than 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by converting the fraction 3/2.

$\frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$

We are given a number greater than 1. Since you are multiplying 1/6 by a number greater than 1, the answer is an increased value compared to the original number.

We can also prove this the mathematical way:

$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1 \times 3}{6 \times 2} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$

1/4 > 1/6, or 0.25 > 0.1(6)
