Question

When you multiply a given fraction by a factor greater than 1, the product will (always, sometimes, never) be less than the given fraction

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

sometimes

Explanation:

For positive numbers, multiplying by a factor greater than 1 increases their value:

(1/2) × 2 = 1 > 1/2

For negative numbers, multiplying by a factor greater than 1 decreases their value:

(-1//2) × 2 = -1 < -1/2

So, "sometimes" the product will be less than the given fraction.
