Question

why is the product of 3/2 and 3/4 greater than 3/4

Answer 1

Answer:  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/2)*(3/4) = 9/8

9/8, or 1 1/8 is greater than 3/4

The factor (3/2) is misleading.  It is 1.5 written as a fraction and its appearance as a fraction makes one think it is a small number.
