If 5/8 is multiplied by 2/9, will the product be greater than either of the 2 factors? Explain. The product will be (A: greater than both/B:equal to 1/C:greater than 1/D:less than both) of the 2 factors. When multiplying 2 fractions ( A: Equal to / B: Less than / C: Greater than) 1, the product is always (A: Larger than/B:Smaller than/C:Equal to) the (A:Smallest/B:Largest) fraction being multiplied.
