Question

Which statement about 5 multiplied by 1/8 must be true?

The product is between 5 and 6.
The product is less than 1.
The product is greater than 5.

Answer 1

The product is less than 1.

Explanation:

Since
`5* (1)/(8) = (5)/(1)* (1)/(8)=(5)/(8)`

and
`(5)/(8)= 0.625`

which is less than 1, therefore we can say that the product is less than 1.
