Is 5/4 times 6, 11/8 times 6, and 3/8 times 6 products greater than 6?

Here were are dealing only with positive numbers and positive fractions whose numerators and denominators are positive integers.

If you multiply a number by 1, you get that number.

For example, 1 * 5 = 5; 1 * 8 = 8

If you multiply a number by a positive number less than one, the result is smaller than the number you started with.

For example, 1/2 * 6 = 3. Since 1/2 is less than 1, multiplying 1/2 by 6 gives a result smaller than 6. 3 is smaller than 6.

If you multiply a number by a number greater than 1, the result is greater than the number you started with.

For example, 2 * 6 = 12. Since you multiplied 6 by a number greater than 1, which 2 is, you get 12 which is greater than 6.  5/4 * 20 = 25. Since 20 was multiplied by 5/4, and 5/4 is greater than 1, the result, 25, is greater than 20.

It's easy to tell if a fraction is greater than or less than 1. If the numerator is less than the denominator, the fraction is less than 1.

Examples of fractions less then 1: 1/3, 1/6, 5/6, 11/12, 18/121. In every case to the left, the numerator is less than the denominator, so all fractions are lees than 1.

If the numerator is greater than the denominator, then the fraction is greater than 1.

Examples of fractions that are greater than 1: 4/3, 11/8, 3/2, 121/100, 17/18.

5/4 is greater than 1, so 5/4 * 6 is greater than 6.

11/8 is greater than 1, so 11/8 * 6 is greater than 6.

3/8 is less than 1, so 3/8 * 6 is less than 6.

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles

the area of the rectangle is 35units^2.

step-by-step explanation:

graph it and find the distance.

it is a 5*7 rectangle.

therefore the area is 35units^2.
