  • Question

  • If two fractions, each of which has a value between 0 and 1, are multiplied together, the product will be :


  • Options
  • A. always greater than either of the original fractions
  • B. always less than either of the original fractions
  • C. sometimes greater and sometimes less than either of the original fractions
  • D. remains the same

  • Correct Answer
  • always less than either of the original fractions 

    Explanation

    We can easily Answer this by taking some values.

     

    The question states that the two fractions, each have values between 0 and 1.

    Let us say one of the fraction is 1/2 and the other fraction is 1/3 .

    The product of the two fractions is 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6 .
     is lesser than both 1/2  and 1/3 .

    So, the correct answer is that the product is always less than either of the original fractions.
