Respuesta :
It would be less because any number, no matter big or small multiplied by a fraction is always less than that number.
Answer:
Yes, it is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we multiply a positive real number by a positive real number less than 1,
Then the value of the original number is always decreased,
Here, [tex]\frac{7}{8}> 0[/tex]
Also, [tex]\frac{3}{4}<1[/tex]
Thus, by the above statement,
[tex]\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{7}{8} < \frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Verification :
[tex]\frac{7}{8}=0.875[/tex]
Since, the product of [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] is,
[tex]\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{7}{8}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{21}{32}[/tex]
= 0.65625 < 0.875
[tex]\implies \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{7}{8} < \frac{7}{8}[/tex]
