Question

fr.2.3 2. an expression is shown. $4 × \frac{6}{5}$ complete the sentence about the expression. the value of the expression is predicted to be ____ (responses: equal to 4, less than 4, greater than 4) because 4 is being multiplied by a fraction ____ (responses: equal to 1, less than 1, greater than 1).

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the fraction value

The fraction is $\frac{6}{5}$, and $\frac{6}{5}=1.2$, so it is greater than 1.

Step2: Predict product vs original number

When a positive number is multiplied by a fraction greater than 1, the product is greater than the original number. For $4 \times \frac{6}{5}$, since $\frac{6}{5}>1$, $4 \times \frac{6}{5} > 4$.

Answer:

The value of the expression is predicted to be greater than 4 because 4 is being multiplied by a fraction greater than 1.
