If you multiply 3 x 1/4, is the product greater than or less than 3? Explain.

The product would be less than the original number because its like multiplying by a percent. so 3 X .25= .75 or 3/4....Hope this helps!!!

3*1/4 is .75 .75 is less than 3. Here...it's like this...lets put it in money 3=3 dollars .75= 75 cents .75 cents is less than 3 dollars, so the product is less than 3 (Hope it helped ^_^)
