Jack said that if you take a number and multiply it by a fraction, the product will always be smaller than what you started with. Is he correct? Why or why not? Explain your answer, and give at least two examples to support your thinking.

Answer:Is not correct. The product not always will be smaller.Step-by-step explanation:A fraction could increase a number if you multiply it.  If the numerator is higher to the  denominator,  it will increase it.  If the numerator is smaller to the  denominator,  it will decrease it.For example,10 x 4/3For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get 10×4/1×3=40/3= 13,33 13,33 is higher than 10.5 x 10/3For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get 5×10/1×3=50/3 16,66 is higher than 5.
