Question

Which equation has a value less than 54,811?

54,811 x 2 = ________
54,811 x one and two fourths = ________
54,811 x 1 = ________
54,811 x two fourths = ________

Answer 1

Number 4 (54,811 x two fourths)

Explanation:

54,811 x 2 = 109622

54,811 x one and two fourths = 82216.5

54,811 x 1 = 54811

54,811 x two fourths = 27405.5

The first, second, and third are 54811 multiplied by a number that is greater than or equal to 1. When a number is multiplied by something greater than 1, it gets bigger, and when multiplied by 1 it stays the same. The one where you have to mulitply by two fourths is multiplying by less than 1, so it gets smaller.
