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

are less than 3.
