The document discusses multiplying and dividing rational numbers including examples of multiplying fractions and decimals as well as dividing them. It also includes practice problems and answers.

To multiply rational numbers, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. For example, to multiply 3/4 and 2/5, multiply the numerators 3 * 2 and the denominators 4 * 5 to get 6/20.

To divide rational numbers, invert the second rational number and multiply. For example, to divide 15/4 by 3/14, invert the second rational number to get 14/3 and then multiply the numerators and denominators to get 15 * 14 / 4 * 3 = 210/12.

PROBLEM
14. ANS:
a) For the product of 1.5 and a number to be positive, the number must be negative.
5.1 and 4.7 are between 4 and 6.

Then,

and

3.6 is between 2 and 4.

are between 6 and 9, so they are greater than 6.

Then,
So,

is between 3 and 6, so it is less than 6.


and

are greater than 6.

b) For the product of 1.5 and a number to be negative, the number must be positive.
2.6 and 3.3 are between 2 and 4.

Then,

and

are between 6 and 3, so they are less than 3.

1.6 is between 0 and 2.

Then,
So,

is between 3 and 0, so it is greater than 3.


and
