Can multiplying two fractions result in a product smaller than either one of the factors? Explain your answer using at least three examples.

Sometimes, fractions can be written in 'improper' form, meaning that the top number (numerator) is bigger than the bottom number (denominator). So anything multiplied by a fraction like this will give a bigger number.

For example:
5 × 2/1 = 10
10 x 10/1 = 100

Yes, it can. For example, 2/3 x 1/8 = 2/24; 9/10 x 5/6 = 45/60, and 3/8 x 4/5 = 12/40. These products are less than all the factors of the equations.

#3 out of all of them. It has to be the best
