Is the product of 12 and 3/4 more or less than 12? explain answer

Hello!!

So the product is when numbers or variables are multiplied together. So if we have 12 * 3/4 then that equals 12/1*3/4=(12*3)/4=36/4=9

So we can see that the product of 12*3/4 is less than 12. We can see this right from the start by noticing that to be at least 12, then 12 would have to be multiplied by at minimum 1 meaning 12*1=12 anything less than 1 would result in a lesser value than 12.

Hope this helps Thank you!!!
