Question

which statement About 5 multiplied by 3/4 must be trueA.The product is between 5 and 6B.The product is less than 3/4 C.The product is between 3/4 and 5 D.the product is greater than 5

Answer 1

The product between 5 and 3/4 is represeted as follows:

$5\times\frac{3}{4}$

or since 3/4=0.75, as:

$5\times0.75$

Here, we are multiplying 5 by a number that is less than 1. So the answer will be less than 5.

But at the same time, we are multiplying 0.75 (which is 3/4) by a number greater than 1 which is 5. So the multiplication must be greater than 3/4.

The correct answer is:

C.The product is between 3/4 and 5
