Step-by-step explanation:
I am not allowed to answer more than 3 questions. So I will do the first 3.
15a. i) (2/3) = 4/9
ii) (2/3) = 8/27
iii) (2/3) = 16/81
b. The product is small because you are finding the fraction of a fraction.
16. Compared to the factors, the product is less than each fraction. This is because, as stated above, you are trying to find a fraction (a part of the whole) of another fraction. When you multiply a whole number by a fraction, the whole number decreases. The same applies to a fraction.
17a. 0.4 × 0.3 = 0.12
b. 0.4 = 4/10 = 2/5
0.3 = 3/10
3/10 × 2/5 = 6/50
